There are times when an impaled object cuts through a major blood vessel, but the wound does not bleed because the impaled object is effectively stopping the bleeding. At the scene, the responder will secure the object in place. At the hospital, the object can be removed under controlled conditions, where the damage can be cleaned and stitched (or cauterized) and blood/antibiotics can be administered if required.
