In this feature series, we’re covering key capabilities of your ALEX/AXEL manikin. Today’s focus: palpable pulses—a fundamental but important tool for hands-on assessment.
Check Pulses Instantly
ALEX/AXEL has 8 pulse points: bilateral carotid, radial, brachial, and pedal pulses.
Pulses are only active when palpated, just like in real patients.
How It Works
Start a simulation—pulses won’t activate otherwise.
Touch any pulse point to feel it immediately.
Each pulse check is logged automatically for tracking.
Need a faster or slower pulse? Simply change the heart rate on the vitals monitor—ALEX/AXEL will respond instantly.
