What is the normal tibial pulse rate?

A distal pulse should be the same rate as a femoral pulse, carotid pulse, brachial pulse, pedal pulse, or radial pulse. The strength of the pulse may be harder to feel the further away from the heart, but the rate should be the same. One heart, One Pulse Rate. The Normal heart rate/pulse in an adult is 60-100 beats per minute. Less of course, in the super healthy athlete.


Why did paramedic check her dorsalis pedis pulse?

There would have been a leg injury and the paramedic wanted to ensure there was circulation distal (below) the injury.

Where is the dorsalis pedis pulse location?

The dorsalis pedis artery pulse can be palpated readily lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendon (or medially to the extensor digitorum tendons) on the dorsal surface of the foot, distal to the dorsal most prominence of the navicular bone which serves as a reliable landmark for palpation.

When do you check the apical pulse instead of radial pulse?

Apical pulse will never be less than the radial pulse. A radial pulse rate less than the apical rate is an example of a pulse deficit, and can be the result of a heart murmur, but the opposite will never occur.


What does the plantar surface of the distal forelimb mean in simple terms when reffering to bpm a dog?

"The plantar surface of the distal forelimb" is the simple terminology, although it is medical terminology rather than common-use English. The plantar surface is the side of the foot where the pads are; the distal forelimb is the part of the front leg that is furthest from the shoulder. Based upon the reference to "bpm", I am guessing you are looking for directions on palpating the pulse of the dog. You should gently slide the tips of your fingers over the hollow spot at the joint between the paw and the last long leg bone. There are two small but superficial (close to the skin) arteries there that you can measure a pulse rate from.
