The 10 pulse points or pressure points::
1. The external maxillary
2. The superficial temporal
3. The carotid
4. The brachial
5. The ulnar
6. The radial
7. The femoral
8. The popliteal
9. The posterior tibial
10. The dorsalis pedis
Most commonly used is #6. But EMT's will use #3 in an emergency.
Radial
How do you monitor a child's pulse
It is ideal to use the apical pulse for monitoring a child's heart rate.
Popliteal Pulse
This site is called a pulse point. There are ten sites that are used.
When assessing a pulse site, arteries are palpated in every scenario. This is because pulses are the result of the rhythmic expansion and contraction of arterial walls as blood is pumped through them by the heart. Common pulse sites include the radial, carotid, and femoral arteries, where the pulse can be felt due to the proximity of these arteries to the skin's surface. Palpating veins generally does not provide a pulse sensation.
Temporal pulse
monitoring of blood pressure, pulse, respirations, and temperature.
The pulse site under the arm is called the brachial artery pulse. It is located on the inner aspect of the upper arm, midway between the shoulder and elbow.
The pulse site found at the temple of the head is called the superficial temporal artery. This artery is commonly used for checking the pulse and is located just in front of the ear.
The pulse site located on the inner aspect of the wrist is the radial pulse. It can be felt by placing the fingers on the thumb side of the wrist, just below the base of the thumb. This site is commonly used to assess heart rate and rhythm.
