What else can I help you with?
If a radial pulse cannot be palpated due to patient's low blood pressure the nurse may obtain a sytolic blood pressure by?
Checking carotid
What is the artery palpated on the dorsum of the foot?
In the human, the dorsalis pedis artery is the blood vessel carrying oxygen to the dorsal or upper surface of the foot. To feel or palpate the dorsalis pedis pulse, place the fingers mid foot where the ankle meets the foot. Dorsiflexion (toes up - not pointed down) increases the chances of feeling this pulse.
What artery in the arm is standard systemic artery in which blood pressure is measured?
Brachial Artery
Coronary Artery Disease diagnosis and Treatment?
It can be diagnosed by checking blood pressure, also having an electrocardiogram is a common method of diagnosis. Treatment could include bypass surgery, drugs to control blood pressure, also, there is a procedure to inflate a small balloon inside an artery to widen it.
What is palpated vs osculated blood pressure?
Palpated is when you can feel the pulse return. this is recorded as 120 palp, and only indicates the systolic pressure. Auscultating is when you can hear the systolic pressure wave return and diastolic is when you can no longer hear a pressure wave. Recorded as 120/80

Where is the brachial aterery on an infant?
The brachial artery in an infant is located in the upper arm. It runs along the inner aspect of the arm, starting from the axilla (armpit) and extending down to the elbow. It can be palpated between the biceps and triceps muscles, typically just medial to the biceps tendon. This artery is important for assessing circulation and blood pressure in infants.
Where is the radical artery located?
The radial artery is located in the forearm, running along the radial side (thumb side) of the arm. It originates from the brachial artery at the elbow and travels down towards the wrist, where it can be palpated near the base of the thumb. This artery is key for supplying blood to the lateral aspect of the forearm and hand.
