What two sites can a central pulse be palpated?
Femoral and carotid
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.
What are two common features found on a pulse monitor?
The main feature of a pulse monitor is, of course, measuring the pulse of the person wearing it. Another feature is to then display this value as both a number and a graph on another machine.
Which is the main artery which you would use to find a pulse in an emergency?
Carotid (in the neck)
What conditions or circumstances may cause the apical pulse to be different from each other?
The apical pulse can differ from other pulse sites due to variations in blood flow, heart rate, or rhythm. Conditions such as arrhythmias, where the heart beats irregularly, or peripheral vascular disease, which affects blood flow to extremities, can lead to discrepancies. Additionally, factors like body position, temperature, and physical activity can influence pulse readings at different sites. Lastly, anatomical variations in blood vessels may also contribute to differences in pulse assessment.
