In the case of a patient who collapses and is nonresponsive, the BEST place to check for a pulse is the carotid artery. This is because the carotid artery is easily accessible in an unconscious patient and provides a strong pulse that indicates blood flow to the brain.
If a patient collapses and is nonresponsive, which artery is the BEST place to check for a pulse?
