Radial Pulse Blood Pressure. Fts creators presumed that a normal radial pulse correlated with a systolic blood pressure 100 mmhg based on the results of the previously described civilian trauma study by mcmanus et al who reported a systolic blood pressure of 99 9 18 7 mmhg among subjects with a weak radial pulse n 20. In advanced trauma life support atls we learned that a carotid femoral and radial pulse correlates to a certain systolic blood pressure sbp in hypotensive trauma patients. Carotid femoral pulse only sbp 70 80 mmhg. The pulse will continue to be felt as the pressure in the cuff falls from systolic all the way down to zero.
It has been estimated that using 50 percentiles carotid femoral and radial pulses are present in patients with a systolic blood pressure 70 mmhg carotid and femoral pulses alone in patients with systolic blood pressure of 50 mmhg and only a carotid pulse in patients with a systolic blood pressure of 40 mmhg. Blood pressure bp assessment is an essential part of initial vital signs vs measurement as well as overall evaluation of most patients especially trauma. Carotid pulse only sbp 60 70 mmhg. The pulse will continue to be felt as the pressure in the cuff falls from systolic all the way down to zero. Fts creators presumed that a normal radial pulse correlated with a systolic blood pressure 100 mmhg based on the results of the previously described civilian trauma study by mcmanus et al who reported a systolic blood pressure of 99 9 18 7 mmhg among subjects with a weak radial pulse n 20. Radial pulse present sbp 80 mmhg.
Similarly the lowest mean sbps recorded in the field between the normal and weak pulse character groups were 112 mm hg and 99 mm hg respectively.
We ve almost all been taught that the presence of a radial pulse means that the patient has an sbp systolic blood pressure of at least 80 or 90 or something like that. Carotid femoral pulse only sbp 70 80 mmhg.
