Bruce Protocol Stress Test

Thank you for the video, the procedure was nice and well explained…

If she is scrapping his skin, where are her gloves? Her hands are not sanitary. People in the health field are getting more and more away from understanding infection control and "transfer".

Should of shown more of the tracing. Wanted to see if there was any artifact at peak exercise.

Gosh 🤯 you got him all bruised up
on his chest

Treadmill is pretty much assembled and ready to use. I use it everyday and it is still running excellent. After sales service is amazing. Over all gonna reco to a friend.

why did he wear body net?

I won’t make it past 3. My heart rate hits 180+ at 14% 3.5 speed

What was the blood pressure during the stages?

EKG echo cardiogram is done in nature beauty parlour to replicate what tread mill exercises ..... the spark ...... conducted by the polytechnics organised to ......... show a nuclear test in a beauty parlour is not a big deal ......... vinayaka mission university can show anything from ........... Sri Lankan temples ............. CCTV operators are squatting right in front of temples ........ varris yuvaraj boopathy .... laksmipathy ...... Sri ramachra medical college , contractor , village administrative office and vice Chancellor residing in the same premises of spark CCTV ........

I was walking in my stress test and my heart rate got to 152 in 4-5 minutes

Can I take my blood pressure medication before doing the stress test or don’t take it ?

Without any disrespect....

Was testing myself at gym. I crapped out early in stage 4, however I happened to notice many of the videos show the patient holding the railing. Not this video and this video showed 16%. Is it possible he slowed down a lot or stood on side not walking when you shot that?

I don’t hold onto railings at all, that’s like getting a lift on a bench press, not “real”. No way I can run at 16% 4.5 mph after 9 minutes.

Thank you for posting the video.

The ladies are absolutely cool...i wonder why they haven't asked him on any discomfort. That is usually asked during the test. I am not sure if i missed it...

This is an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC instructional and educational video! Every time I teach stress testing to my nursing and allied health students, I show them this video. Great job!!!!

You're really supposed to be wearing gloves when handling a patient

You scrubbed his flesh off 🙄 if a patient saw those bruises, they will run away in the middle of the test at the speed of 5.5 MPH (just so that you may not be able to catch them)

how the hell can you take blood pressure when someone moving

great video. thank you

im taking exercise phisiology right now and they linked me to this video. I'm just trying to figure out wtf this has to do with ANYTHING

Oh, the EKG tech should stop the test if you feel dizzy.

i am an athlete, and was diagnosed cardiac arrhythmia.. i've done this 4years ago when i was 19. i have no idea what really is stress test so when i saw it and then they explained it to me.. me and the doctors didnt even expect i got to the maximum.. lol..

what does the grade mean? the one you are referring to as percentage?

sexy curly hair

Had a stress test 4-20-17 thought they was going to kill me wasn't a walk in the park.

I'm scared lol

whats the HPE ?

Would two male techs be able to perform this test on a female patient? Double standards "alive & well" in American medicine.

I AM REALLY LOVING THAT SHIRT LOL or maybe its how nice his man boobs look IN that shirt....

Not a VO2 max test! A 12-lead EKG stress test is used to diagnose cardiac conduction problems. No mention of the function of the various leads. If you just need heart rate, use a simple heart rate monitor.

Why not just use alcohol swab?

After or before 6MWT ?

Sorry sweetheart, how do you do a VO2 max test without any pulmonary testing equipment (Y)

I love how they're trying not to laugh, lmao

Good  and well explained... but why is she taking his B.P.? it should be taken automatically by the machine?.if not what is the value of the cuff on his limb?

Very helpful, but surely she should be using her fingers to actually locate where the electrodes go rather than just rough guessing? I know we're always under time constraints but it seriously affects results, especially when exercise testing. Also there's no need to leave such red marks on his skin when abrasing. It's just unpleasant for the patient and not necessary.

My last stress test put me in the hospital, it is no joke! The techs took it way too casual as they would NOT stop when I was feeling dizzy with massive chest pain. Told them to stop but they pushed on for over a minute later. Then.... cardiac arrest! be careful.

Very helpfull thank You

SOOO is his name "Bruce" or "Brent"?

HRmax = 205.8 - (age x 0.685) is a much more accurate formula than using the standard 220 - age for predicting HR max...

Well explained in detailed order.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Its very helpful!

What was his time? I am wondering as i take the same test every 2 years due to open heart surgery [a 4x bypass] in 2002, it's a tough test running at such a grade My VO2 max seems to be 51 and i am in the superior category for my age [56] when i am at the gym and on the treadmill i keep the angle high to simulate the test, i start at 10 and 1.7 and follow the protocol

My understanding is that you alcohol first than exfoliate to minimize patient discomfort. Also there was no immediate BP taken when the patient stopped the test. Overall pretty good quick tutoral. Would have been nice to see all the steps leading up to the actual test i.e. heart axis, hypervent etc.

What a rough bitch notice she is causing re d marks on his skin up herself with her own self importance never mind his wellbeing. Just for equallity, how many guys get to practice on females?

@gcot29 Are you familiar with the type of exercise you were doing? If it was a bike then your muscles may become fatigued before you reach your max cardiac output. Is your max HR predicted? did you do the 220-age formula? If so then that is just guess. If you do the stress test and it comes out to 180 then your Max HR is 180. As long as ur within 12 of your predicted HR it's okay. AND you have to put MAX effort when you do the exercise test, suck it up if you want an accurate measurement.

I have a question? So do you fail the test if you are unable to get to your max HR? My max HR is 191, but when I do my test I find that I can only get to about 175-180 BPM, before I tire, however once I quit the test I do recover within 60-90 sec's.
