To check an axillary pulse, position the patient comfortably, usually in a seated or lying position. Use your fingers to gently press into the axilla (armpit) to locate the pulse, which is typically found along the lateral wall of the axillary area. Feel for the pulse for at least 30 seconds and note its rhythm and strength. Ensure you are using a light touch to avoid compressing the artery too much.
