Pulse

Pulse: The pressure of the blood pushing against the wall of an artery as the heart beats and rests Most easily felt in arteries which lie close to the skin and can be pressed against a bone

Major Arterial or Pulse Sites Temporal Carotid Brachial Radial Femoral Popliteal Dorsalis Pedis

Pulse Rate Beats per minute Varies with age, sex, and body size Norms: – Adults : bpm – Children over 7 : bpm – Children from 1-7: bpm – Infants: bpm

Bradycardia: < 60 bpm Tachycardia: >100 bpm (except in children)

Document Rate Rhythm: Is pulse regular or irregular Volume: strong, weak, thready, bounding P= 82 strong and regular. Lynda Durant, RN
