Any tips for finding popliteal pulses? I still haven't cracked it....

@Shazmo Practice? And make sure your subject is uber-relaxed...

@fidouglas Ha, my exam is tomorrow but I'll try the second one ;)

@Shazmo According to Wiki "a readily-detectable and easy-to-find popliteal pulse may actually suggest some pathology". FYI.

@fidouglas Ooooo that is comforting (:

@Shazmo Might wanna verify that before quoting it in an exam. Maybe one of our resident junior docs would know. @silv24 @Watts_Chris ?

@Watts_Chris @fidouglas @shazmo @silv24 if very easily palpable think of an aneurysm definitely. tough to feel unless regularly doing it.

@topknife1 @Watts_Chris @shazmo @silv24 Who needs med school when you have Twitter?! ;-) Thanks for clarifying.

@Watts_Chris @fidouglas @shazmo @silv24 to medstuds may be simple but rem if distal pulse present then It is there even if u can't feel it..

@Watts_Chris @fidouglas @shazmo @silv24 be surprised how many tell u popliteal is absent but dp and pt present!
