Subclavian artey becomes axillary artery. Axillary artery becomes brachial artery. Brachial artery divides into radial and ulnar branches. You palpate radial artery at distal end of radius bone. So you feel a pulse betwwen radius and your fingers. So it is better felt than ulnar artery.
The five upper limb pulse points are the radial pulse, found at the wrist on the thumb side; the ulnar pulse, located on the wrist on the pinky side; the brachial pulse, felt in the inner arm near the elbow; the axillary pulse, found in the armpit area; and the subclavian pulse, located just above the clavicle. These pulse points are key for assessing circulation and heart rate in the upper extremities.
Do not stop CPR to check for a pulse.
Usually the heart, or the carotid pulse is good also
