The site for optimally palpating the "femoral pulse" is in the inner thigh, at the mid-inguinal point, halfway between the pubic symphysis and anterior superior iliac spine. Presence of a "femoral pulse" has been estimated to indicate a systolic blood pressure of more than 50 mmHg, as given by the 50% percentile. The femoral artery can be used to draw arterial blood when the blood pressure is so low that the radial or brachial arteries cannot be located. The femoral artery is susceptible to peripheral arterial disease. When it is blocked through atherosclerosis,
