Unit 12 Basic investigations
Ophthalmoscopy
An ophthalmoscope allows the doctor to examine all parts of the eye: the iris, lens, retina and optic disc. For best results, the examination is done with dimmed, or lowered, lights to allow the pupil to maximally dilate or widen. A topical mydriatic solution may be applied to the eye to aid dilation. The patient is then asked to fixate on a target for the duration of the test.
Exercise:
A doctor is talking to a patient during an ophthalmoscopy. Match the underlined expressions she uses (1-4) to expressions with similar meanings (a-d).
Right, Mr Gold, because you’ve been having these headaches I’m going to have a look at your eyes, particularly the back of your eye – the retina. I’m going to put (1) a couple of drops in your eye, (2) which will make it easier for me to see the retina. After a few minutes you may find your vision a bit blurry. This will wear off after about an hour.
(3) I need get rid of as much external light as possible. This means closing the blinds.
Now, I’d like you to (4) look straight ahead at that clock. This takes a few minutes and your eyes might feel a bit tired so you can blink if you need to. I don’t want you to look at me, look at that clock.
a) the examination is done with dimmed lights
b) a topical mydriatic solution
c) to aid dilation
d) fixate on a target
topical – местный
mydriatic – мидриатический (вызывающий расширение зрачка)
Blood pressure
A stethoscope is used to hear the sound of blood rushing through the artery. The first thumping sound is the systolic blood pressure (SBP). When the thumping sound is no longer heard, that’s the diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
Exercise:
Complete the instructions. Choose from the following words:
-
valve; gauge; pump; deflate; systolic blood pressure, diastolic; cuff; diaphragm
1. Wrap the _____________ around the patient’s arm.
2. Place the _____________ over the area of the brachial artery. Raise the patient’s arm so that the brachial artery is at the same height as the heart.
3. Close the valve on the __________.
4. Pump up the pressure to at least 150 mmHg. Open the ______________ a little and slowly deflate the cuff while listening and watching the pressure _______________ .
5. The first sound you hear is the flow of blood through the brachial artery. The value on the gauge at that point is the ____________ .
6. Continue listening while you slowly _______________ the cuff.
7. The _____________ blood pressure is measured when the sound completely disappears.
brachial – плечевой
Taking blood
During venipuncture, the phlebotomist, a technician who takes blood, inserts a needle into a vein and withdraws blood into a specimen tube, which is sent to the haematology laboratory for analysis. Usually the phlebotomist can find a vein in the inner part of the elbow that is easily accessible. She may apply a tourniquet – a tight band – above the site, or the patient may be asked to clench their hand to make a fist, in order to make the vein more prominent. Afterwards, the patient may be asked to press lightly on a dressing, usually a piece of gauze, to help the blood to clot and to prevent swelling and haematoma (a black and blue mark, or a bruise) where the vein was punctured.
gauze – марля
venipuncture – венопункция (прокол вены)
specimen – проба
