Palpable uterine artery pulsation refers to a medical doctor feeling the uterine artery when your heart beats. Studies are underway to determine if a palpable uterine artery is a possible indicator of early pregnancy.

What is palpable uterine artery pulsation?
It means you can feel the pulses of blood flowing through your main artery in the uterus (uterine artery) just by touching the area where the uterine artery passes through.
Where are the palpable arteries?
femoral, carotid, brachial, radial...
Where is the popliteal artery locatd?
the popliteal artery is located in the knee, behind the kneecap
Artery used as a pulse point?
Several arteries are used as pulse points including: The radial artery (Lat.: A. Radialis) on the underside of a persons wrist is often used, because of its easy accessibility. The femoral artery (Lat.: A. Femoralis) is also, although rarely, used. The jugular artery (Lat.: A. Carotis communis) is often used. Two other rather important pulse points are located in the feet: The dorsal artery (Lat.: A. dorsalis pedis aka. A. Tibialis Ant.) and the posterior tibial artery (A. Tibialis post.). The radial artery is without question the most often used pulse point. Regarding the systolic blood-pressure in critically ill patients the following rule of thumb is observed: No pulsation in the radial artery, but pulsation in both femoral and jugular => Systolic pressure of ~80 mmHg. No pulsation in either the radial nor femoral, but pulsation in jugular => Systolic pressure of ~70 mmHg. No pulsation in either of the three points => Systolic pressure of ~60 mmHg. This is rarely observed. The two points located on the foot of a patient are often used to assess vascular conditions in this area. This is often relevant after trauma of the leg and/or foot. It should be noted, that in healthy individuals, the dorsalis pedis, posterior tibial and femoral pulses are impalpable in ~8 %, ~3% and 0 % of the time respectively. When assessing the pulse, you check for: - quality - rate - rhythm - amplitude Note should also be given to the fact, that the brachial artery (Lat.: A. brachialis) is quite often used as the artery for blood-pressure measurement.

Can you still have kids if you have Uterine Fibroid Embolization?
A recent study comparing the fertility of women who had uterine artery embolizations with those who had a myomectomy showed similar number of successful pregnancies for both groups. The long-term effect of uterine artery embolization on the ability of a woman to have children has not been fully determined.

Assume someone has been injured in an auto accident and is hemmorrhaging badly what pressure point would you compress to help stop bleeding from the thigh?
Probably the femoral artery which is palpable in your loin.

What is embolization of uterine fibroid?
Uterine fibroid embolization, also known asuterine artery embolization, is performed by an interventional radiologist, a physician who is trained to perform this and other types of embolization and minimally invasive procedures. It is performed while the patient is conscious, but sedated and feeling no pain. It does not require general anesthesia. The interventional radiologist makes a tiny nick in the skin in the groin and inserts a catheter into the femoral artery. Using real-time imaging, the physician guides the catheter through the artery and then releases tiny particles, the size of grains of sand, into the uterine arteries that supply blood to the fibroid tumor. This blocks the blood flow to the fibroid tumor and causes it to shrink and die. http://www.vascularaccesscenters.com/ufe.asp
