QID 6912 (Type "6912" in App Search)

His leg is initially pulseless but after applying inline traction, a distal pulse can be palpated and the limb appears to be viable. The pulse in the injured limb “feels” different than the pulse in the uninjured limb. What is the next step in assessing the vascular status of this limb?
