Peripheral vascular (arterial) examination

Practise peripheral vascular (arterial) examination

18 steps, six minutes. Reading a routine tests whether you recognise it; this tests whether you can produce it.

Narrate the routine

Six minutes, out loud or typed, as if an examiner were watching. Say what you would do and what you are looking for, in the order you would do it.

This marks what you say — coverage, order and pace. It cannot see your technique, and it does not pretend to.

Position
Patient on the couch, both legs fully exposed.
