  1. Nowadays, many monitor machines/consoles can do all 3, but if you want to be specific:

    1) This is most often done with pulse oximetry:

    Some pictures (most people recognize the finger clip better):

    2) Usually, pulses correspond with heart beats (i.e. 1 heart beat = 1 pulse), so in non-critical settings, pulse oximetry is also used to provide (indirect) heart beat information.  

    However, sometimes not every heart beat leads to a pulse, in which case, one needs to be able to monitor the electrical activities of the heart directly.  This is done with cardiac monitor electrodes (often called "leads").  You may recognize the stickers: http://images.google.ca/images?um=1&hl=e...

    A minimum of 3 electrodes (often colored while, black, and red) are placed, although some systems use 5 electrodes: http://www.the-ekg-site.com/leadplacemen...

    3) Sphygmomanometer:

    Modern blood pressure monitors (oscillometric devices) can also provide a pulse count, which is an indirect measure of heart rate.

    Hope this helps.


  2. 1. fingers...you just need the training...

    2. stethoscope, which allows you hear a heartbeat and not 'sence' it

    3. sphygmomanometer

  3. Now a days with advancement in medical equipments we use a equipment which provides multiple monitoring at once,like pulse oxymeter which monitors pulse,oxygen saturation,cardiac electrical activity and blood pressure but to be specific on your question following are the best suited equipments :-

    1. Pulse meter

    2. Electrocardiogram machine or heartbeat sensor

    3. Sphygmomanometer
