Pulse Taking on the Ulnar Side of the Wrist....

[Guest guest]

This is actually a fairly common phenomenon when you start feeling lots of

pulses. There are a few explanations, one of the most common being a fan

guan pulse, ie a transposed radial artery which will often show the radial

artery on the dorsal side of the arm. Often the artery bifurcates and will

change intensity between both aspects of the artery. I would check for this

before assuming the patient is severely deficient.

 

The ulnar pulses are used a lot in Tibetan medicine. Yeshi Donden's books

are a good reference.
