The carotid control technique, often used in self-defense and law enforcement, involves applying pressure to the carotid arteries on either side of the neck to induce a temporary loss of consciousness in an assailant. This maneuver aims to restrict blood flow to the brain, leading to a rapid incapacitation without causing permanent harm. It requires precise application and should only be performed by trained individuals, as improper use can lead to serious injury or even death. Always prioritize safety and legal considerations when discussing or employing such techniques.
