Can a person breathe without having a pulse?
It is possible to have a pulse but no breathing as in asphyxiation, but the reverse is impossible, without a pulse you basically aren't alive, that pulse is a symbol of blood pumping through your body. Good answer above. I should add that, in some subjects, that pulse may be there but not be palpable.
Would you expect to find a palpable goiter?

Is the humerus palpable?

Are bartholin glands palpable?
Yes, Bartholin's glands are located on either side of the vaginal opening and are typically not palpable unless swollen or infected. If they become enlarged due to a blockage or infection, they may be felt as a tender swelling during a physical exam.
Which blood vessel has a pulse?
Arteries have a pulse due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart, which creates a pressure wave that can be felt as the pulse in arteries. Veins do not have a pulse as they carry blood back to the heart at a lower pressure.
Palpable distal pulse means that the pulse can be?
felt
What is distal pulse 2?
Normal and palpable
What is 2 pulse 2?
Normal and palpable
What is palpable pulse caused by?
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.
Where are the pulses taken in the lower extremities?
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)
What is a pulse defeiciet?
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.
Should you use an AED on a child having chest pain?
Unless the child is pulseless, HECK NO. Never put an AED on a conscious patient or a patient with a palpable pulse.
Use palpable in sentence?

Why do you not have a pulse in your veins and capillaries (only in your arteries)?
You do not have a pulse in your veins and capillaries because the pulse is generated by the pressure wave created when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries. Arteries are designed to withstand and transmit this high-pressure blood flow, resulting in a palpable pulse. In contrast, veins carry blood back to the heart at lower pressure, and capillaries are small vessels where the exchange of oxygen and nutrients occurs, lacking the ability to transmit a pulse.
Sentence with palpable?
Examples : "The tension in the room was palpable as we waited for the results to be announced." "There was palpable discontent in the union meeting." Watching the fighter planes streak across the horizon, the civilians felt a moment of palpable terror.
Define a palpable spleen tip?

Minimum blood pressure carotid pulse?
According to the advanced trauma life support (ATLS) guidelines, a palpable carotid pulse indicates a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 60–70 mm Hg: Carotid pulse: SBP is 60–70 mm Hg Femoral pulse: SBP is 70–80 mm Hg Radial pulse: SBP is more than 80 mm Hg
