Presentation VMD
Palpation is one of the assessment techniques health
providers use during a physical exam to detect certain characteristics of the
body. It's the technique of using the sense of touch to assess parts of the
body. By using different parts of their hands, different characteristics about
the patient's body - such as swelling, size and movement - can be identified.
The information collected can help determine the patient's health status.
Types of
Palpation
The fingertips are used in fine tactile
discriminations, such as skin texture, swelling and pulsations. You can collect
information about whether a person's skin is smooth or rough, if there is fluid
in the tissues, and characteristics of pulses.
The finger and thumb used in a grasping action
can help determine the position, size and consistency of a body part. This is used
to help thoroughly examine any masses a person may have in the body.
The back of the fingers and hands are used to
check the body temperature. Since the skin is thinner at this location, it can
easily determine whether a body part is cool, cold, warm or hot.
The side of your hands on the same side of your
pinky finger is used to check for vibrations in the body. You can feel this
when you place your hands on a person's chest while they are talking.
The front of the fingers are used for light
palpation, deep palpation, light ballottement and deep ballottement. Let's look
at these in more detail.
- Light Palpation is used to feel abnormalities that are on the surface. You use the front of your fingers to gently press down into the area of the body about 1 to 2 centimeters. Then lift your fingers off the body and move to the next nearby area. This helps identify the texture, tenderness, temperature, moisture, elasticity, pulsations, and masses.
- Deep Palpation is used to feel internal organs and masses. You use the front of your fingers to firmly press down into the area of the body about 4 to 5 centimeters, then lift your fingers off the body and move to the next nearby area. This helps identify the size, shape, tenderness, symmetry and mobility.
