Overview
• WIPER (wash hands, introduce self, permission, expose, re-position patient)
• End of bed assessment
• Peripheral examination
• Precordium – Inspection
– Palpation
– Percussion
– Auscultation
• Conclude, thanks and summary

End-of bedogram
• Well/unwell?
• Comfortable/in pain/anxious?
• What’s around the bed?
– O2/IV access/GTN spray/drip
• ECG monitoring
• Scars
• Obvious syndromes (IE, Marfan’s)
• Listen for clicking of valve replacement

Peripeheral examination
• Hands – temperature, peripheral cyanosis, tar staining, palmar erythema, tremor, CRT <2
seconds.

Palpate pulses
• Radial pulse
• Comment on RATE and RHYTHMN.
– Regular
– Regularly irregular
– Irregularly irregular
• Collapsing pulse
• (offer to perform radial-radial delay and radio-femoral delay)

Arm + Eyes
• Take the blood pressure, offer brachial pulse
• Eyes corneal arcus, conjunctival pallor,
xanthelasma.

Neck
Palpate the carotid pulse. CHARACTER
• Bounding • Collapsing • Slow rising
JVP
OSCE Tip: How do you distinguish between a carotid pulse and a JVP? Answer: JVP moves down with inspiration, rises with pressure on the right abdomen (liver: hepatojugular reflux – explain the procedure first!) and is impalpable.

Chest
• Inspect CLOSER • Median sternotomy
• Thoracotomy (left)
• Deformity
• Pacemakers/defibrillation
• Palpation
• Apex beat
• Heaves and thrills

Chest
• Auscultation
– 4 areas (aortic, pulmonary, tricuspid, mitral)
• Look up mnemonics
• What positions?

Murmur manoeuvres
• Listen in axilla with bell – get patient to roll on to left side.
• Sit forward breath in/out HOLD + listen
• Listen in carotids.
• While patient sat forward listen to base of lungs.

To complete my examination…
• Peripheral vascular examination
• Urine dip (blood)
• ECG
• Fundoscopy
• Order echo if they have murmur
• See the obs chart and review the notes.
