If you have a brachial pulse what would your blood pressure be at least in mmHg?

As a rule of thumb, If you can palpate a brachial pulse the systolic pressure is at least 60 mmhg. Character of the pulse whether bounding or thready will give additional clues to the approximate blood pressure. If you can palpate a radial pulse the BP is at least 80 mmHg.

It is stopped because the artery is stopped from pushing the blood forward.
What effect will a allergic reaction have on blood pressure and pulse?
high blood pressure and low pulse rate
How do you calculate pulse pressure?
PP= SP - DS Pulse Pressure is equal to Systolic Blood Pressure minus Diastolic Blood Pressure.
Which blood vessel has a pulse?
The blood vessel that has a pulse is an artery. Veins do not have enough blood pressure to register a pulse.
What is the blood pressure in radial artery?
The most accurate way to measure blood pressure is to use an artery closest to the heart. The radial artery is far weaker, and less audible making it a less popular area of the body to assess blood pressure. For medical purposes, the brachial artery is considered the most noninvasive artery to access when measuring blood pressure. Its no wonder that medical professionals dont constrict the carotid arteries to measure blood pressure.
