Hey guys, radio-radial delay is usually not a sign of coarctation (radio-femoral delay is) but a sign of subclavian steal syndrome. It is only in very very rare cases that the coarctation could be in the arch of aorta before the left subclavian branches off.
Thanx guys for this Video. it really helps!! I have my OSCE on Monday 3th 12.2012. I blve that if i follow what u are showing us, i will perfectly pass my Demo. Thanx again
Great video indeed! I have yet to finish watching it but I just noticed that at ~6 min, the examiner is listening to the pulmonary valve rather than the aortic for AR (aortic regurgitation).. Thanks again 4 posting this! Very useful! :)
Great videos guys, nice to see that it is the same on your side of the world as it is at the bottom of the world. Im doing 2 short case OSCE exams today and this has confirmed im on the right track. Cheers
@geekymedics123 well then you are really good.. I'm 22 and study medicine too, and I can't say I could do a Cardiovascular examination video guide as good as this one. I used it to review for my BSc professional skills exam, thax for uploading.
Hey guys..great vid!!! Just wondering though...shouldn't we check for tracheal (upper mediastinum) deviation just before looking for the apex beat? It would rule out shift of the Upper Mediastinum if the apex beat is in an abnormal position. Good luck in your OSCE's Everyone :)
great video....but just it is seem kind of akward when you checking patient pulse, his hand kind of hanging there.....maybe there is a better hand position so that it look more better....just my opinion though....thanks alot for the video, good revision for me.....
you forgot to auscultate for mitral incompetence in the left axilla and mitral stenosis with the patient rolled 45 degrees to their left. otherwise a pretty good video.
