[Pulse Type] Scattered pulse [sanmai] [Interpretation] An irregular pulse, hardly perceptible, occurring in critical cases showing exhaustion of qi. [Comments] 
These are cases where the patient is critically ill, perhaps near death; such patients are normally hospitalized (or sent home to die) and their diagnosis is usually well-established. The pulse only tells that the patient is severely debilitated; it diffuses on light touch and is faint with heavy pressure.
