Detailed explanation-1: -The brachial artery is often the site of evaluation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation of infants. It is palpated proximal to the elbow between the medial epicondyle of the humerus and the distal biceps tendon. The carotid is the preferred pulse point used during resuscitation of adults.

Detailed explanation-2: -The blood pressure cuff is placed on the subject’s right arm, allowing 1 inch between the bottom of the cuff and the crease of the elbow. The brachial pulse is palpated just above the angle of the elbow (the “antecubital fossa").

Detailed explanation-3: -If you’ve ever had your blood pressure taken, your healthcare provider puts a cuff around your upper arm. That cuff uses your brachial artery to measure the pressure in your arteries. Sometimes a healthcare provider presses on this artery to take your brachial pulse.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pulse of the brachial artery is palpable on the anterior aspect of the elbow, medial to the tendon of the biceps, and, with the use of a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer (blood pressure cuff), often used to measure the blood pressure.
