		This space contains the brachial artery, with its accompanying veins; the radial and ulnar arteries; the median and radial nerves; and the tendon of the Biceps brachii.
		The tendon of the Biceps brachii lies to the lateral side of the artery; the radial nerve is situated upon the Supinator, and concealed by the Brachioradialis.
		—After the application of a ligature to the brachial artery in the upper third of the arm, the circulation is carried on by branches from the humeral circumflex and subscapular arteries anastomosing with ascending branches from the profunda brachii.

		The brachial artery is a (A vessel in which blood circulates) blood vessel of the upper arm.
		It is a continuation of the axillary artery, and it starts and the lower margin of teres major and continues down the arm, until it reaches the cubital fossa at the (Hinge joint between the forearm and upper arm and the corresponding joint in the forelimb of a quadruped) elbow.
		The cords of the (A network of nerves formed by cervical and thoracic spinal nerves and supplying the arm and parts of the shoulder) brachial plexus are named by their positional relationship to the brachial (A blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the body) artery.

	Blood pressure - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The peak pressure in the arteries during the cardiac cycle is the systolic pressure, and the lowest pressure (at the resting phase of the cardiac cycle) is the diastolic pressure.
		Typical values for the arterial blood pressure of a resting, healthy adult are approximately 110 mmHg systolic and 70 mmHg diastolic (written as 110/70 mmHg), with large individual variations.
		Listening with a stethoscope to the brachial artery at the elbow, the examiner slowly releases the pressure in the cuff.

	Echocardiography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Currently, cross-sectional imaging of the brachial artery cannot be used to determine maximum diameter or area of the lumen because of inadequate image definition of the lateral walls.
		The diameter of the brachial artery should be measured from longitudinal images in which the lumen-intima interface is visualized on the near (anterior) and far (posterior) walls.
		Brachial artery diameter should be measured at the same time in the cardiac cycle, optimally achieved using ECG gating during image acquisition.

		The investigators studied brachial artery distensibility in normotensive and hypertensive individuals 24 to 96 years of age.
		Common methods used to measure arterial distensibility are pulse wave velocity, reflected wave, and ultrasonographic measurement of the diameter of the artery with a rise in blood pressure.
		He recommends that 2 groups of patients, at opposite ends of the spectrum, be sent for arterial distensibility testing: those with resistant hypertension, and those whose blood pressure is slightly elevated, not high enough to warrant drug therapy.

		When the location of the artery and the plexus is not immediately apparent, asking the patient to adduct the arm against resistance during palpation of the artery tenses the pectoralis and coracobrachialis muscles.
		However, when the axillary artery is punctured before the plexus is stimulated (rare), we do not continue searching for stimulation but resort to the transarterial technique and inject one third of the total volume of the local anesthetic posterior and one third anterior to the axillary artery.
		The musculocutaneous nerve is not consistently blocked with the axillary brachial plexus block, because this nerve leaves the brachial plexus sheath proximally.

		Whereas respiratory therapy technicians generally limit their arterial punctures to the radial artery, family practice residents are often called after attempts at radial artery puncture by the technicians have failed.
		Presented here is a case of a previously healthy woman who was not being treated with anticoagulants in whom brachial arterial puncture caused median nerve neuropathy that was resistant to all medical and surgical interventions and that resulted in a permanent partial disability and impending legal action.
		In the antecubital fossa the median nerve and brachial artery are located in a closed compartment underneath the bicipital aponeurosis.

		Shorter branches pass into various other muscles on the front of the upper arm, and others descend down each side of the elbow to join arteries in the forearms.
