Good afternoon! To my son of 19 years, the doctor has written " the control of the CARDIAC CONTRACTIONS RATE every day ", but here in as to it or him to listen, easier or simply to measure pulse or to put or apply an ear to heart, or an arm or a hand? And in what position it is better to listen to heart?

[Tutelman K.M.]

Measurement of pulse should be spent in rest, t. e. Before measurement the child within 5 minutes (at least) should sit or lay. If necessary after measurement of pulse in rest it is possible to count pulse in position costing or standing and after fiz loads (10 15 knee-bends). In the best way of measurement of frequency of intimate or cardiac reductions
Measurement of the CARDIAC CONTRACTIONS RATE by means of a phonendoscope (auscultation of cardiac sounds) is. Measurement of the CARDIAC CONTRACTIONS RATE by nashchupyvanija pulse on duchevoj arteries (on an arm or a hand) or somnolent (on a neck) arteries is possible or probable. However the given way can be absolutely exact at presence at the child of the reasons on which everyone pulsovaja a wave reaches on a peripheric artery (for example, disturbances of an intimate or a cardiac rhythm, some prophets of heart).
