How to Take a Pulse

http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-take-a-pulse

Pulse is one of the vital signs of life. It is a "breath" that is caused by the arteries as they push the blood. The artery expands and contracts in a rhythmic fashion to pump blood through out the body. The pulse rate is an indication that the heart is working and the organism has life. This is the reason pulse rate is also called as heart rate.

My mum is a nurse and she told me a story about one time they had a 19 year old boy in A & E who had been eating magic mushrooms and was having a bad trp, freaking out etc. He had been seen in an old ladies garden naked trying to take the pulse of an oak tree in her garden!

100 bpm for me I'm 18. I'm over of shape I exercise, but with weights.

[71homeboy]

I'm 40 year old and have 65 beats per minute.

[tspragg1]

this might seem like cheating but.... you can also just count the number of beats in 15 seconds and then multiply by four. works just as well and just as accurate but in a shorter amount of time.
