A palpable pulse is caused by the rhythmic expansion and contraction of arteries as blood is pumped through them by the heart. This occurs during ventricular systole when the heart contracts and forces blood into the arteries, creating pressure waves that can be felt at various points on the body, such as the wrist or neck. Factors such as heart rate, stroke volume, and vascular resistance can influence the strength and characteristics of the palpable pulse.

A palpable pulse refers to being able to feel the rhythmic expansion and contraction of an artery as blood is pumped through it by the heart. It is commonly felt at various points on the body, such as the wrist or neck, and is used to assess the heart rate and rhythm.
electromagnetic pulse is one of the effects caused by
There are 4 pulses that are palpable on the lower extremities:femoral pulse (thigh)popliteal pulse (back of the knee)posterier tibial (behind the ankle)dorsalis pedis (top of the foot)
No. The pulse is caused by the pressure wave resulting from ventricular contraction.
a pulse iz cauzed cuz i said it iz caused
The pulse is caused by the rhythmic contractions of the heart. The pulse can be measured at superficial arteries in teh body.
What you feel in your wrist is a pulse. The pulse is caused by the heart pumping blood round your body.
A pulse deficit occurs when there is a discrepancy between the heart rate and the pulse rate, indicating that not all heartbeats result in a palpable pulse. This situation often arises in conditions such as atrial fibrillation, where the heart's rhythm is irregular, leading to ineffective pumping and some beats failing to produce a detectable pulse. Assessing for a pulse deficit typically involves simultaneously measuring the heart rate via auscultation and the pulse rate at a peripheral site, such as the wrist.
Unless the child is pulseless, HECK NO. Never put an AED on a conscious patient or a patient with a palpable pulse.
