An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.
An arterial bleed.
I assume the 'puncture' is accidental. An arterial puncture is characterized by bright red blood (as opposed to darker venous blood). Arterial cuts bleed fast and forceful, often in time with the heartbeat. If that happens, get thee to an emergency room-quick!
The largest one - femoral, but it all depends on the wound, other injuries, blood pressure, position of the patient....
Bleeding for a major artery can cause death within a few minutes. The carotid artery in the neck and the femoral artery in the leg are two major arteries.
Arterial PCO2 is the mean arterial pressure 20 to 26mmhg.
Arterial is a reference to the blood in the arteries, as opposed to blood in the veins.
yes
Technically, yes, you could bleed to death. In reality, you'd have plenty of time to get to a hospital and be treated. Veins bleed very slowly as opposed to arterial bleeds that spurt because of the pressure. Tongue veins are really only a problem with venom or off-center tongue piercings.
Arterial PCO2 is the mean arterial pressure 20 to 26mmhg.
It can mean Arterial Blood Gas.
