Auscultate, palpate and tap: time to re-evaluate

Aim To determine the accuracy of current methods of heart rate (HR) assessment. Methods All participants palpated a simulated pulsating umbilicus (UMB), listened to a tapping rate (TAP) and auscultated a simulated HR (AUSC). A simulated HR of 54, 88 and 128 beats per minute (bpm) was randomised for...

Zusammenfassung:Aim To determine the accuracy of current methods of heart rate (HR) assessment. Methods All participants palpated a simulated pulsating umbilicus (UMB), listened to a tapping rate (TAP) and auscultated a simulated HR (AUSC). A simulated HR of 54, 88 and 128 beats per minute (bpm) was randomised for all methods. Results Twenty‐nine healthcare staff participated in this study. Correct assessment of HR of 54 bpm as being within the 0‐59 range occurred in 17.2% UMB, 17.2% TAP and 31% AUSC and was obtained in
