How many times is the pulse of a 4-year-old child per minute?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The pulse refers to the throbbing of superficial arteries. In normal individuals, the pulse is consistent with the heartbeat. The frequency of the pulse is influenced by age and gender. Infants have a pulse rate of 120-140 beats per minute, young children have a rate of 90-100 beats per minute, school-aged children have a rate of 80-90 beats per minute, and adults have a rate of 70-80 beats per minute. Additionally, exercise and excitement can increase the pulse rate, while rest and sleep can slow it down.
