Palpation of foot pulses is traditionally used to evaluate patients with arterial disease. … Dorsalis pedis (DP) and posterior tibial (PT) pulses were palpated and were then examined by Doppler with measurement of systolic pressures.
What are DP and PT pulses?
DP = dorsalis pedalis, PT = posterior tibial.
What does peripheral pulses 2+ mean?
Palpation should be done using the fingertips and intensity of the pulse graded on a scale of 0 to 4 +:0 indicating no palpable pulse; 1 + indicating a faint, but detectable pulse; 2 + suggesting a slightly more diminished pulse than normal; 3 + is a normal pulse; and 4 + indicating a bounding pulse.
