What else can I help you with?
What are the main pulse sites?
The carotid artery in the neck and the radial artery in the wrist.
What is the most commonly used pulse sites?
The most commonly used pulse sites are the radial artery located in the wrist, the carotid artery in the neck, and the brachial artery in the elbow. These pulse sites are easily accessible and are often checked to assess heart rate and rhythm.
What are the pulse sites on the body?
Temporal, Radial, Dorsalis Pedis, Anterior Tibial, Apical pulse, Ulnar pulse, brachial pulse, Carotid pulse, Femoral pulse, Popliteal pulse, Posterior Tibialis pulse Those are the ones I can think of but there are more.
What should the intensity of the pulse be the same at each different sites?
As you go farther away from the heart the arteries differentiate into smaller arterioles. As a result the elastic recoil of the arterial wall lessens and the perceivable intensity of the pulse also lessens.Hope this answered your question.
Nine sites used to assess the pulse and state the reasons for their used?
reason for nine site useThe pulse may be palpated in any place that allows an artery to be compressed near the surface of the body, such as at the neck (carotid artery), on the inside of the elbow (brachial artery), at the wrist (radial artery),
Where can one find more information about pulse oximetry?
There are several sites that one can find more information about pulse oximetry. These sites include the pulse oximetry page of Wikipedia, World Health Organization, and Pulse Ox.
Emergency situation two sites used for assessing pulse are?
The carotid artery (on each side of the neck) and on the inside of each wrist. The femoral arteries will also do, but the carotid indicates blood to the brain, which directs all bodily functions.
What affects pulse rates-raising it and lowering it?
factors affecting pulse rate-raising or lowering pulse sites on the body
What the name of the site you take a pulse from?
This site is called a pulse point. There are ten sites that are used.
What is average pulse in the femoral carotid brachial and radial?
The average resting pulse rate for an adult at various arterial sites is typically as follows: femoral artery - 70-85 beats per minute, carotid artery - 60-100 beats per minute, brachial artery - 60-100 beats per minute, and radial artery - 60-100 beats per minute. It is important to note that individual variations and health conditions can affect these averages.
What characteristics do arteries have to have to be considered a pulse site?
Arteries that are relatively large and near the surface can be used as pulse sites.
When the pulses is taken it is usually taken at an artery in the neck or wrist why?
There are three places in the body to get an accurate pulse. The femoral artery in the thigh, the radial artery in the wrist, or the carotid artery in the neck. The radial and carotid arteries are closer to the surface of the skin and thus are easier to get a pulse from.
