Study Notes
- Linear guides involve drawing or visualizing a line on the skin's surface to locate arteries.
- The following are arteries and their corresponding linear guides:
Left Common Carotid Artery
- The linear guide extends from the center of the left sternoclavicular articulation to the anterior border of the left ear lobe.
Left Axillary Artery
- The linear guide runs from a point over the center of the base of the left axillary space to a point over the center of the lateral border of the base of the left axillary space, parallel to the long axis of the abducted left arm.
Left Femoral Artery
- No corresponding linear guide is provided
Left Ulnar Artery
- No corresponding linear guide is provided
Left Anterior Tibial Artery
- The linear guide extends from the lateral border of the left patella bone to the anterior surface of the left ankle joint.
Left Popliteal Artery
- The linear guide goes from the center of the superior border of the left popliteal space, parallel to the long axis of the left leg, to the center of the inferior border of the left popliteal space.
Left Radial Artery
- The linear guide runs from the center of the left cubital fossa to the center of the base of the left index finger.
Left Brachial Artery
- The linear guide is from a point over the center of the lateral border of the base of the left axillary space to approximately 2.5 cm below and in front of the left elbow joint.

Description
This section outlines the use of linear guides for locating arteries on the body. It details specific linear guides for arteries such as the left common carotid, left axillary, left anterior tibial, and left popliteal arteries. Guides for the left femoral and ulnar arteries are not provided.
