pulse to see if the heart is beating and if the person is alive or needs CPR.
The left subclavian artery doesn't feed the carotid (neck pulse) so your answer would be the wrist.
Usually in the same places you'd find a pulse on anyone else. Strokes typically occur within the brain, which isn't a good place to take a pulse (inside the skull???), so the subject being a stroke victim is immaterial. If you are concerned that the stroke may be related to occlusions within the neck, you can always try for other pulse points -- radial, femoral, etc.
A stroke victim should be assessed bi-laterally (both sides) If the victim is awake check the radial (wrist) and if they're unconscious check the carotid (neck). Make sure to check both the left and right side of the victim and note any differences.
check a carotid pulse for not less then 5, but no more then 10 seconds
first of all it's not victim, its victom. and a boy called Nathan Lane is the person who your are looking for
pressure on the brachial artery of the arm
They have cut or open artery and strong pressure must be used. A tourniquet is the choice.
pull his ear and ask if he can hear you bend over the victim for signs of breathing clear anything in his mouth clamp his nose with two fingers, cover his mouth with yours. & blow air into his lungs,making his chest rise. do this twice. then start compressions. 30 compressions. two breaths. 4 sessions. check carotid artery for pulse. if none, continue procedure.
If it is spurting, an artery has been cut and there is no time to lose. The bleeding must be stopped very quickly or the patient will die.
