Is a stethoscope better than two fingers on your neck for checking pulse?
No, two fingers are the best method for checking pulse on your neck (external carotid artery). A stethescope is not effective at checking a pulse, it is used to hear the heart, or hear abnormal arterial sounds such as bruis.
Where can pulse be detected?
Your pulse can be detected on the side of your throat, you can also feel it on your wrist. When checking your pulse, DO NOT use your thumb, it has a small pulse of it's own.
How can you improve the accuracy of your pulse measurements?
you mean method for getting a result (as in finding your pulse?) 2 places are your neck (alot more difficult to find) and your wrist...on your left hand...on the left side of wrist...just below where it joins your hand...a nice strong signal to be found here!
Where do you place your fingers when checking your pulse?
Place your index and middle fingers on the underside of your wrist, between the bone and tendons, or on the side of your neck, just under the jawline. Avoid using your thumb, as it has its own pulse that can interfere with accuracy. Count the beats for 15 seconds and then multiply by 4 to get your heart rate per minute.
What do you call the artery when checking pulse rate in the wrist?
The radial artery.
What is the Importance of leading edge and trailing edge in radar pulse?
The leading edge of a radar pulse determines range accuracy. The trailing edge, along with pulse width, determines minimum range.
Why do you not use the thumb for taking the pulse rate?
Thumbs have more blood flow than your fingers and could mess up your timing when checking your pulse. The thumb has a pulse point of its own, so you would be feeling two conflicting pulses at the same time.
Where should you find the pulse in a stroke victim?
You can find the pulse on the body either on the wrist or the neck. When checking for the pulse on the wrist you make sure you are checking on the side of the thumb using your pointer finger and middle finger. When you are checking on the neck (using the pointer finger and middle finger as well) take you fingers and go from the ear towards your chin. You will feel a little indenct on the neck but under the jaw. You should be able to feel the pulse in that area.

How do you check a pulse?
If you're checking your own pulse, you can check either wrist, where you might see the throbbing of the pulse, or either side of your neck, using the minute hand of your watch, for a minute. IF you are checking someone else's pulse, the same principles apply as use above. Just be careful not to use your thumb to check wrist pulses or you might actually be counting your own.
What are Different methods of checking the pulse?
