Veterinary Challenge: Taking Vitals - Heart Rate

3/18/2020

0 Comments

 
Project Discipline: Veterinary Science
​Ages: All ages, dependent on child!
Difficulty level: Medium (depends on your "patient")
Supplies needed: A dog, cat or human "patient"
Today, Kodiak 4-H veterinary leader and local veterinarian, Dr. Iacobucci, would like to challenge all of our Alaska 4-H'ers and friends to find a patient and take their heart rate.  With the help of her vet assistants and the cooperation of her patient, Dr. Iacobucci demonstrates in the video below how to take the heart rate of a dog without a stethoscope, and notes that the same technique can be applied to cats.  She also demonstrates how to take the heart rate of a person, in the event you are stuck at home without any furry friends!

How did she do? 
​Using the 
Alaska 4-H judging form, watch the demonstration again, but this time, be the judge!  Fill out the form at home and let Dr. Iacobucci know how she did.  Scored sheets can be e-mailed to kodiak4h@gmail.com.

The Challenge:  Take a patient's heart rate at home.  
  • Have a family member help you and take some photos while you're at it.  Upload to our facebook page to show you did it!
  • Feeling comfortable with it? Want to share with others?  Create a demonstration video and have your family and friends judge you!
