As a healthcare professional with expertise in emergency medical response, I can provide you with accurate information on how to check for a pulse in an infant.
To check for a pulse in an infant, you should locate the brachial artery. This artery is found in the upper arm, specifically on the inside, between the elbow and the shoulder. You can gently but firmly press your fingers against this area to feel for the pulse. It's important to note that in infants, the carotid artery (located in the neck) is not typically used to check for a pulse due to the risk of causing injury.
