How do you check circulation?

Gently find the carotid artery and lightly press it with your first or first and second fingers to feel for a pulse. You can also try the veins in the wrist, but the carotid artery is much easier to detect a pulse. NEVER use your thumb to try to check for a pulse because you will feel your own pulse rather than that of the victim.
