How to Find Carotid Artery
- 1). Use your first and second fingers on one hand and place them halfway between your chin and your ear. This is approximately where your carotid artery runs.
- 2). Move your fingers slowly down your neck from this position. You should be able to feel a pulse a little less than halfway down your neck.
- 3). Move slightly to the right or left if you cannot feel the pulse. When you feel the beating in your neck you will know for sure that you have found the carotid artery.
