Definition:
(n.) Lack or defect of pulsation.
Example Sentences:

Definition:
(n.) The state of being pulseless.
Example Sentences:
(1) Occlusive thromboaortopathy, also known as "pulseless disease" or Takayasu's disease, was first described in 1908 by Takayasu, who observed cataracts and peculiar arteriovenous anastamoses around the optic papillae in a young woman.
(2) Takayasu disease is characterized by a pulseless condition which most often occurs in young females from Asian or South American areas.
(3) Two different algorithms were used one for ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia and one for asystole and pulseless bradycardia.
(4) A 56-year-old woman with severe back pain and a cold, pulseless right extremity was admitted to our hospital.
(5) The effects of pulseless perfusion on the distribution of renal blood flow and on release of renin were studied in anesthetized dogs.
(6) A 38-year old quintipara with an unremarkable medical history suddenly complained of nausea during delivery, became pulseless and cyanotic, and lost consciousness.
(7) At birth, the right upper extremity was cold, pulseless and cyanotic.
(8) Pulseless idioventricular rhythm is the agonal arrhythmia identified in three models of hemorrhagic shock used in this study.
(9) Physical examination revealed a firm, smooth, fixed, non-tender, pulseless fist size mass in the right lower abdomen.
(10) Takayasu arteritis is a chronic vasculitis characterized by a clinical pulseless condition and is predominant in young female patients.
(11) The maneuver is performed by assessing the palpability of the pulseless radial or brachial artery distal to a point of occlusion of the artery manually or by cuff pressure.
(12) Very high blood pressure in the absence of significant target organ impairment is an important clue to this subtype of hypertension and should lead to simple diagnostic techniques, such as Osler's maneuver (an attempt to palpate a pulseless radial artery) and radiographs of the soft tissues of the arms.
(13) This case highlights the fact that, irrespective of race, any patient who presents for the first time in pregnancy with pulseless hypertensive disease or other features suggestive of Takayasu's arteritis, should have their management in labour determined by the number of complications that are present.
(14) In this study, we analyzed the outcome of 15 consecutive young patients, who were resuscitated from pulseless ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation and who were evaluated by comprehensive hemodynamic and electrophysiological testing.
(15) Vascular lesions are first diagnosed clinically: hard signs of arterial trauma (for instance, a pulseless extremity) certainly indicate the injury.
(16) If preformed collateral systems provide some perfusion distal to an arterial occlusion (for example, in the common iliac artery), there is frequently an incomplete ischemic syndrome observed which is characterized by pain, paleness and pulselessness.
(17) In addition, one patient had total occlusion at the origin of one subclavian artery (classic pulseless disease).
(18) This injury should be repaired acutely to avoid long-term functional disability in all patients who present with a pulseless upper extremity.
(19) An increase in the rate of bradycardia and pulseless idioventricular rhythms that was independent of electrical capture or pharmacologic therapy was noted occasionally.
(20) During pulseless perfusion there was a consistent and progressive redistribution of blood flow toward deeper cortical layers with the outer cortical layer falling from 36.9 to 25.3% p less than 0.001) and the juxtamedullary cortex increasing from 14.5 to 25.4% (p less than 0.001) after 2 hours.
