The time it takes to die from a punctured femoral artery can vary significantly based on several factors, including the severity of the injury, the individual's health, and the promptness of medical intervention. In general, severe bleeding from the femoral artery can lead to death within minutes if not treated quickly, as it is a major artery supplying blood to the leg and vital organs. However, with immediate medical attention, such as applying pressure or surgical intervention, survival chances can significantly improve.
What else can I help you with?
How long can you live with a severed artery?
It depends on which artery. If your femoral artery is severed, you have minutes to live without immediate medical attention. Same for the Carotid artery in your neck, or the jugular vein in your neck. If the aorta artery feeding your heart goes, same thing. I would say the smaller the artery, the longer you may have to live before you bleed out. The biggest life threat as far as arterial bleeds is the aorta. If any part of the aorta ruptures, a surgeon couldn't save you if he already had you cut open on the table. Essentially, if the aorta ruptures, it will only take about 3 beats of the heart to bleed out. The further away from the heart you get, the slower the bleed will be, but any compromised artery is potentially life threatening. The femoral artery in the thigh (the femur is the thigh bone, hence the name fermoral) is another big bleeder. The carotid is the second biggest life threat if it's compromised. So basically, if the aorta ruptures, 3 heart beats. If the carotid ruptures, perhaps 2 minutes. If the femoral is severed, perhaps 5 minutes. The difference is that the carotid and the femoral arteries can be controlled with proper treatment. The aorta is untreatable once it's compromised.
Can the hymen be healed?
Once the hymen has been punctured it cannot be re-closed without surgical measures.
How do you trace the path from the femoral vein to the lower lobe of the right lung via the right pulmonary artery?
From the Femoral vein, you would go to the inferior vena cava, which then leads to the right atrium of the heart. From there, you'd go tothe right AV valve to the right ventricle and then to the pulmonary SL valve. Then, you'd go to the pulmonary artery and then the lungs. Once in the lungs, go to the lower lobe of the right lung. There are three lobes within the rght lung, unlike the left lung, wich has two. The three lobes are the Superior lobe, at the top, the Middle lobe, in the middle, and lastly, the Inferior lobe at the bottom
How are messages from the femoral nerve sent to the brain?
Messages from the femoral nerve are sent to the brain through a series of electrical impulses. These impulses travel along the nerve fibers of the femoral nerve until they reach the spinal cord, where they are then transmitted up to the brain via the spinal cord's sensory pathways. Once in the brain, the messages are interpreted and processed to produce a response or sensation.
What is the major artery of the left arm?
This comes from my A&P lab manual... "In the armpit, the subclavian artery becomes the axillary artery, which serves the upper limb." The previous answer was "brachial," which could also be a correct answer. "The brachial artery divides into the radial and ulnar arteries, which follow the same-named bones to supply the forearm and hand."
Can you kill someone buy shooting them in the leg?
No. Neither if the bullet hit the femoral artery. If the bullet hit the femoral artery, you will eventually die if the bleeding isn't stopped immediately. But no, you won't die instantly if you're shot in the leg. You will, however, die instantly if you were shot in the head through the back of your head close the spinal cord because that area of the brain is where your internal organs, including your heart, are controlled from.Addendum:There are only three places by gun shot that can typically kill instantly: head, heart, and spinal cord. However, it is important to realize that "instantly" is a relative term here. It takes no less than 5 minutes for clinical death to set in once the heart stops. Even a head shot can leave the heart beating for some time longer than five minutes, and brain death does not occur until circulation has ceased for five minutes or more.A GSW to the femoral artery can take 1 minute (if the artery is totally severed) to an indeterminate time if it only nicked (depending on the size of the opening in the artery) for exsanguination to occur. Approximately half of a person's blood supply would have to evacuate before the heart stopped, and then the brain death clock starts. It is possible however, and quite possible that the GSW victim would succumb to shock before bleeding out.

What is the best way to patch a punctured bike innertube?
To patch a punctured bike inner tube, first locate the puncture by inflating the tube and listening for the hissing sound. Once found, clean and dry the area around the puncture. Apply a patch and press firmly to ensure it sticks. Allow the patch to set before reinserting the tube into the tire and reinflating it.
Blood leaves the right ventricle and passes through?
Blood travels from the left ventricle to the aorta through the aortic valve.
What is heart decatherization?
Heart decatherization is really not a "term." It could, however, be made to mean "the removal of a heart catheter from the coronary arteries." When someone is suspected of having blocked coronary arteries (maybe after a heart attack), the cardiologist will perform a "heart catheterization." This means that a small, sterile hose is passed through a large artery such as the "Femoral" artery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femoral_artery) and threaded up and into the coronary arteries close to the area where the suspected blockage is occuring. The doctor then squirts some fluid through the catheter and views it on an X-ray type machine. The fluid, called "contrast," can be seen by the X-ray for just a moment; Long enough for the doctor to see where the fluid goes. He can then see whether or not the blockage in the artery is a large one or a small one by watching the route of the fluid. Once he/she determines that there is a blockage and how severe the blockage is, he removes the catheter....this would be decatherization, if you want to call it that.
Trace a drop of blood from the heart to the right arm?
In tracing a drop of blood from the pulmonary to radial artery, there are 5 circulatory points. Pulmonary follows through to the subclavian artery, axillary artery, brachial artery, and then to the radial.
What is the best way to repair a punctured inner tube on a bike?
To repair a punctured inner tube on a bike, the best way is to first locate the puncture by inflating the tube and listening for the hissing sound. Once located, remove the tube from the tire, roughen the area around the puncture with sandpaper, apply a patch and glue over the puncture, and then allow it to dry before reinserting the tube back into the tire and reinflating it.
