Method of examining the pulse

The hand of the patient should be free and slightly flexed at the forearm, so that the left hand of the physician, the 3 fingers of the right hand, namely the index finger, the middle finger and the ring finger of the physician gently touch the skin over the radial artery.

Above all, it is important that the patient should not be unconvinced for this purpose
