4. WASH YOUR HANDS!
5. General Examination:
o Shortness of Breath
o Cyanosis
o Pallor
o Oedema
6. Inspect Hands (Back of the hands)

10. Capillary Refill Time

11. Palpate Radial Pulse
o Assess Rate & Rhythm
12. Assess for Radio-Radial Delay (Feel both radial pulses at the same time)
o Aortic Coarctation (Narrowing of the Aorta)
If present, a delay between bilateral radial pulses suggests
narrowing of the aorta proximal to the left subclavian artery -
classically in the context of coarctation of the aorta.
Left radial pulse is slightly later than the right
13. Assess for a Collapsing Pulse
o Aortic Regurgitation
Watson's water hammer pulse, also known as
Corrigan's pulse or collapsing pulse, is the medical sign
(seen in aortic regurgitation) which describes a pulse that is
bounding and forceful, rapidly increasing and
subsequently collapsing, as if it were the sound of a
waterhammer that was causing the pulse.

a. Patient turning head at 45 degree angle
b. Located between the two heads of the sternocleidomastoid
i. RAISED IN HEART FAILURE
18. Assess Hepatojugular Reflux
i. Apply Pressure to the liver
ii. Observe for a rise in JVP (Jugular Venous Pressure)
POSITIVE = SUSTAINED RAISED > 4 cm > Gagal Jantung
Kanan
