Dr. Wang Mingxuan
The arteries in the hand are typically most easily palpable at the wrist, with the radial artery being the most superficial. It can be felt on the medial side of the radial styloid process. The radial artery in the hand can be used for arterial blood gas analysis and angiography, among other effective procedures. In daily life, it is important to take proper protective measures and maintain a healthy diet, including plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits.
