If it is spurting, an artery has been cut and there is no time to lose. The bleeding must be stopped very quickly or the patient will die.
What is a severed artery?
Blood squirt (blood spurt, blood spray, blood gush, or blood jet) is the effect when an artery, a blood vessel in the human body (or other organism's body), is cut. Blood pressure causes the blood to bleed out at a rapid, intermittent rate, in a spray, squirt, gush or jet, coinciding with the beating of the heart, rather than the slower, but steady flow of venous bleeding. Also known as arterial bleeding, arterial spurting, or arterial gushing, the amount of blood loss can be copious, occur very rapidly,[1] and can lead to death.
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 is an arterial PO?
Arterial PCO2 is the mean arterial pressure 20 to 26mmhg.
If you get a cut on any vain would you be spurting blood?
No, you would be "spurting" blood if you cut an artery as that's what carries the blood away from the heart. It has more pressure so it would spurt. However, a vein is carrying the blood back to the heart so there is less pressure, therefore no spurting just an ooze.
What does it mean when a wound is spurting?
the wound is letting off blood

Why is pressure higher in arteries than in veins?
Arterial blood is under pressure from the action of the heart while venous blood, being on its way back, moves more slowly and steadily. You can tell if an artery is cut by the bright red color of the blood and the spurting action of the blood flow. Venous blood is darker and flows evenly.
