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.

Palpable uterine artery pulsation?

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.


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.
