What else can I help you with?
If there is an obvious arterial bleed in a care under fire situation what should you do to control the bleeding?
Immediately apply the Combat Application Tourniquet (CAT)
In which type of bleeding is blood less likely to clot?
An arterial bleed, because the blood is flowing at a high rate of speed/pressure.
What will produce a spurt or proface bleeding when cut?
An arterial bleed.
How do you detect arterial puncture and if it happens what should you do?
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!
What best defines an arterial bleed?
An arterial bleed is characterized by the rapid loss of blood from an artery, typically resulting in bright red, pulsating blood flow. This type of bleeding occurs when an artery is severed or damaged, leading to a significant risk of blood loss and potential shock. The high pressure within arteries causes the blood to spurt or pulse with each heartbeat, making it a critical medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
How long to bleed from arterial wound?
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.
Which arterial bleed is worse or harder to control femoral radial brachial or popliteal?
The largest one - femoral, but it all depends on the wound, other injuries, blood pressure, position of the patient....
What is an arterial PO?
Arterial PCO2 is the mean arterial pressure 20 to 26mmhg.
What does arterial mean as in arterial o2 saturations?
Arterial is a reference to the blood in the arteries, as opposed to blood in the veins.
Is The cerebral arterial circle an arterial anastomosis?
yes
Can you die if you hit a tongue vein?
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.
What should you do if the combination of extremity elevation and direct pressure do no control the bleeding?
You can press on the artery supplying the bleed. Assuming this is arterial bleed. For example, if the radial artery is bleeding without contron, pressing on the brachial can help. A turnicket is a last resort and if applied should never be released suddenly for blood will flow out quicker than initially
