A distal pulse should be the same rate as a femoral pulse, carotid pulse, brachial pulse, pedal pulse, or radial pulse. The strength of the pulse may be harder to feel the further away from the heart, but the rate should be the same. One heart, One Pulse Rate. The Normal heart rate/pulse in an adult is 60-100 beats per minute. Less of course, in the super healthy athlete.
There would have been a leg injury and the paramedic wanted to ensure there was circulation distal (below) the injury.
It is distal to it....
You have several pulse points in your body, you are probably aware of the carotid pulse in your neck and the radial pulse in your wrist. The feet also have pulse points. there are 2; the dorsalis pedis, essentially on the top of your foot as it turns into your leg, and the medial malleor, on the inside part of your ankle.
Absolutely not. That pulse rate is 20% higher than the pulse rate for a normal 2 year old boy or girl. My sources are from myself... I am a cardiologist have been one for 16 years.

To check for blood flow distal from an injury.
A distal pulse refers to a pulse that is located away from the center of the body or an injury site. It is often used to assess blood flow and circulation in extremities such as the fingers, toes, or ankles. Palpating distal pulses can help healthcare providers determine the effectiveness of blood supply to these areas.

Make sure there is a distal pulse from the splint prior to (and after) placing in a sling.
Radial and apical pulse
the following Pulse location are? 1. Apical pulse 2. Radial pulse 3. Brachial pulse 4. Apical-radial pulse
There are two phalanges in the pollex (thumb) - the proximal phalanx and the distal phalanx.
The dorsalis pedis artery pulse can be palpated readily lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendon (or medially to the extensor digitorum tendons) on the dorsal surface of the foot, distal to the dorsal most prominence of the navicular bone which serves as a reliable landmark for palpation.
