Bandaging Neck Wounds - Simple trick to manage neck bleeding

Managing neck bleeding or wounds can be difficult. We have to make sure we don’t occlude the airway and that we don’t cut off blood supply to the brain while still applying a good amount of pressure to the area or injury to stop bleeding. This little trick will let you apply pressure where you need it while protecting the patients airway.
Stay vigilant. Stay safe!

Never seen it taught like this, brilliant content

[@SixEcho]

Thanks! Our goal is to teach new skills so we like hearing when that goal it met!

[@satology]

I understand how to apply pressure dressing but May I ask if it is ok to use occlusive dressing on neck open injury?

[@muhammadzeeshan4574]

Yesterday in Pakistan a person died due to neck cut because of plastic thread used for kites 🥺
People didn't know this trick otherwise they might could save him.

[@alyssawhite3651]

Good technique but probably would need to be tighter if on the jug or subclavian vein/artery.

[@hugohernandez2362]

Could this be wrong but if you don’t have enough time can you not use your fingers and finch the artery the save the persons life ?

[@MrWake1084]

thanks!

[@SixEcho]

Sure thing!

[@Nameness]

See I was wondering if the carotid artery is severed, would packing and wrapping compromised airway from the pressure on the trachea. Is that why you don’t pack or can you pack the wound with gauze?

[@aluminiumknight4038]

If such a big artery is cut you need to pin point pressure on it or clamp it

[@stendanb2342]

I wanna be proficient with medical but everything with heart and pumping blood makes me very anxious and stressed

[@spartanswill]

Well if someone is bleeding from an artery and you aren't panicking you would be a psychopath

[@nicholaslandolina]

Would this have saved NHL dude

[@Suprchkn747]

Yes, either this or direct pressure.

I’m a year late, but was wondering if there is any chance of survival from being stabbed there. I’ve seen several videos where they fall and die after about 7 seconds.

[@SixEcho]

They might fall after 7 seconds but haven’t died yet. They may bleed out to the point of death in a matter of a minute or two but they will go unresolved before that time.
The only way to buy time is immediate direct pressure to stop the bleed. You have to compress the artery to stop the bleeding until they can get to a vascular surgeon.

@@SixEcho I never knew that, I always assumed it was game over at that point.

[@MrEvldreamr]

@@mr.pissedoff1903 many attempted murder victims have their throats cut and their killers assume theyre dead for the same reason. But they wake up later on. Always try to save people is my assumption
