How to measure the pulse Before surgery, eye patients must be assessed for their suitability for surgery. Taking the pulse allows us to find out what the patient's heart rate is and to assess the strength, regularity, and character of the pulse. Irregularities might indicate a heart problem and must be investigated. Taking the pulse also provides an initial recording (a ‘baseline’) that will enable us to compare future measurements and monitor changes in our patient's condition. The pulse can be measured at several points in the body. These points are where an artery is situated just under the skin, where it can be compressed against a bone, allowing us to feel each beat. Many things-such as anxiety, pain and fever-can raise the patient's pulse (heart rate) and certain medications such as beta blockers or digoxin can lower it; all of these reasons should be considered when assessing and recording the patient's pulse. If you are taking repeat measurements of the same patient, try to measure the pulse under the same conditions each time. A normal pulse is regular and strong. Heart rates, and therefore pulse rates (number of beats per minute) change with age and can vary between individuals of the same age. *Table 1.* Normal pulse rate range, by age *Age* *Pulse** rate (beats per minute)* Newborn (resting) 100-180 Infant (resting) 80-150 Child 6 years 75-120 Child 6-12 years 70-110 Adolescent-adult 60-90 If you already exercise regularly, you can stop to check your heart rate sometimes during an aerobic workout. If you don't exercise regularly, you can do a simple test by checking your heart rate after a brisk 10-minute walk. *Target heart rate zone* *Age* *Target heart rate zone: Beats a minute* *Maximum heart rate: Beats a minute* 25 98-166 195 35 93-157 185 45 88-149 175 55 83-140 165 65 78-132 155 *Aerobic fitness: Running or jogging test* Another way to assess your aerobic fitness is to time yourself on a 1.5-mile (2.4-kilometer) run or jog. The following times are generally considered indicators of a good fitness level based on age and sex. A lower time generally indicates better aerobic fitness, and a higher time suggests a need for improvement. *Good fitness results based on timing of 1.5-mile run* *Age* *Women: Time in minutes* *Men: Time in minutes* 25 13 11 35 13.5 11.5 45 14 12 55 16 13 65 17.5 14 The following counts are generally considered indicators of a good fitness level based on age and sex. If your pushup count is below the target number, the target can serve as a goal to work toward. Counts above the targets indicate better fitness. *Good fitness results for pushup counts* *Age* *Women: Number of pushups* *Men: Number of pushups* 25 20 28 35 19 21 45 14 16 55 10 12 65 10 10 *Good fitness results for situp test* *Age* *Women: Number of situps* *Men: Number of situps* 25 39 44 35 30 40 45 25 35 55 21 30 65 12 24 Everybody knows that aerobic capacity decreases with age. You know that chart in your gym that shows your target heart rate decreasing as you get older? Well, that's not a senior discount to let the elderly get off easy on their treadmill workouts. It's because older hearts simply can't beat as fast as younger hearts. So the older person who's doing 120 beats per minute is probably working harder -- at a higher percentage of maximum heart rate -- than the younger person who is at 150 beats per minute. (*University of Colorado Denver* <http://www.ucdenver.edu/>. Original written by Jackie Brinkma). The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate achieved during maximal exercise. One simple method to calculate your predicted maximum heart rate, uses this formula: *220 - your age = predicted maximum heart rate* Example: a 40-year-old's predicted maximum heart rate is 180 beats/minute. (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20585008>) *Target Heart Rate Zones by Age ** - *Age: 20* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): **** 120 – 170 - Predicted Maximum HR: 200 - *Age: 25* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): 117 – 166 - Predicted Maximum HR: 195 - *Age: 30* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): 114 – 162 - Predicted Maximum HR: 190 - *Age:* *35* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): **** 111 – 157 - Predicted Maximum HR: 185 - *Age: 40* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): 108 – 153 - Predicted Maximum HR: 180 - *Age: 45* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): 105 – 149 - Predicted Maximum HR: 175 - *Age: 50* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): 102 – 145 - Predicted Maximum HR: 170 - *Age:* *55* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): 99 – 140 - Predicted Maximum HR: 165 - *Age:* *60* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): 96 – 136 - Predicted Maximum HR: 160 - *Age:* *65* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): 93 – 132 - Predicted Maximum HR: 155 - *Age:* *70* - Target Heart Rate (HR) Zone (60-85%): 90 – 123 - Predicted Maximum HR: 150 Your Actual Values (Actual Values are determined from a graded exercise test) - Target HR - Max. HR ** This chart is based on the formula: 220 - your age = predicted maximum heart rate.* KR: For a heart beat of 202 one must be just 18 years and below!!.
