Which pulse can be felt in the upper arm?

The brachial pulse is located in the upper arm, specifically found in the groove between the biceps and triceps muscles, near the humerus. It is commonly assessed in various medical situations, especially in pediatric care or when measuring a person’s blood pressure. The brachial pulse is essential for assessing circulation in the arm and is often used in emergencies for scenarios such as checking for pulse in infants.

In contrast, the radial pulse is located at the wrist, the carotid pulse is found in the neck, and the femoral pulse is felt in the groin area. Each of these pulses has specific locations and is utilized in different assessments, making the brachial pulse unique in its position on the upper arm.
