The "7 pulse" likely refers to the seven main pulse points used for checking a person's pulse. These pulse points are:

  • Temporal: Located in the temple, near the forehead.
  • Carotid: Located on either side of the neck, just below the jawbone.
  • Branchial: Located in the bend of the elbow, on the inside of the arm.
  • Femoral: Located in the groin, at the top of the thigh.
  • Radial: Located on the wrist, on the thumb side.
  • Popliteal: Located behind the knee.
  • Dorsalis pedis: Located on the top of the foot, between the first and second toes.

These points are often used by healthcare professionals to assess a patient's heart rate, rhythm, and overall health. They can also be used to check for the presence of a pulse in emergencies.
