It is usually easiest to find the brachial pulse under the bicep, in the arm. The carotid pulse can be a little tricky, but if you can see it, you can get the rate visually.

Why are apical pulse usally taken on infants and children?

Apical pulses are typically taken on infants and children because their heart rates can be rapid and irregular, making it difficult to accurately assess their pulse at peripheral sites. The apical pulse, located at the apex of the heart, provides a more reliable measurement of heart rate and rhythm. Additionally, infants and small children may have a higher risk of cardiovascular issues, so monitoring the apical pulse offers a more direct evaluation of their heart function. This approach ensures better accuracy, especially in clinical settings.
