since we're on the subject, i caught an error in the FA diagram, pg. 231.
Pulmonic stenosis: should be
systolic murmur. I try to understand the way it works which is much more useful but could be time consuming if randomly asked.. so i used lil visual help as well:
- write down in big letters A P T M
above the circles.
- between P and T draw a circle (not with black pen). At the end of line from "left sternal border".
- inside the circle A and P write "
S" for stenosis and systolic
- new circle between A and P write "
R/D" for both of A+P regurgitation/Diastolic
- inside T and M - write "
S" and "
R" together - only useful for location of murmur.
I make one disease favorite (most of the time, the common one) than the other, and associate findings with it. For ex., VSD with systolic and Tri. Regurgitation. Then you know the other one being opposite of this.
I also saw another error on pg. 230
5 year old boy presents with
"diastolic" (not systolic) murmur and wide, fixed split S2 -- Dx being ASD. the diagram on 231 concurs.
I caught these errors myself so if anyone feels that i made a mistake or got it confused, help me... an explanation would be splendid. you can also validate that theyre errors.. whynot. If anyone requires explanation, i got no problem but gonna have to wait til next day tea break..
k.. my tea is almost done.. getting back to resp. physio..
