Where do you place your fingers to locate the brachial pulse on an infant?

To locate the brachial pulse on an infant, you place your fingers inside the upper arm, midway between the elbow and shoulder. This area is where the brachial artery runs, and it is the primary pulse point used for infants because it is typically more accessible and easier to feel compared to other pulse locations.

Finding the brachial pulse is critical when assessing an infant in a life-threatening situation, as it provides valuable information on the circulatory status of the child. Using this location minimizes the risk of compression and ensures that the pulse can be accurately detected, especially given the smaller body size of infants.
