In Finnish texts the form is used whenever multiple pulses are described or possession is indicated, for example pulssien mittaus (measurement of pulses) or pulssien taajuudet (pulses’ frequencies).

In medical and physiological contexts, pulssien refer to the pulsations felt in arteries such as the radial or carotid, and are used to assess heart rate, rhythm, and vascular health. Terms such as pulse rate and pulse rhythm frequently appear with pulssien in written discussions of cardiovascular status.

In electronics and signal processing, pulssien describe short, timed electrical impulses that carry information. Common parameters associated with pulssien include pulse width, pulse repetition frequency, and duty cycle, which together define the shape and timing of the signal.

Grammatically, pulssien is the genitive plural of pulssi, with pulssit as the nominative plural. The form appears in compound terms and in phrases that refer to multiple pulses, across medical, biological, and technical contexts.
