The jugular vein in the neck is one of the largest veins in the body that's anywhere near the surface. It can be sewn together again by a doctor, but in terms of first aid it is vital to plug the hole immediately. This overrides the usual concerns about infection and the like, because a person with a severed jugular will bleed out in a matter of moments. Grab anything handy and press it tightly over the wound; the other jugular on the opposite side of the neck can return the blood from the head, so it doesn't matter much if you completely block the vein on the wounded side. Have someone else call 911.
