Subject: distal or distant dorsalis pedis pulse?

Are both distant and distal possible or is one or the other?

I usually hear distant, but my manager corrected one report at distal.

 Phyllis ... Thank you so much!!  The name Duroziez is correct, and it goes along with Quincke - another type of pulse.  I wish the people these things are named after had easier sounding names!!  I appreciate your help on this very much, as this doctor does not like to be bothered and expects me to know every medical word.


Take care, Judy H
