Severed artery what to do?

If they are bleeding out then their brain still isn't recieving the correct flow anway so in terms of placing pressure on the wound you aren't likely to cause much if any more damange than what has been done already.  Your best bet is to place pressure on the wound while avoiding putting pressure on the airway or placing the head at an odd angle to hurt the neck.  Hopefully you would never be in such a situation, but any reduction in the blood flow out of the body will help, but the faster the ambulance arrived and they could start full treatments the better.  If you're really interested why not take a 1st aid or some emergency med classes in your area?

OK, Rest for a day or two, it is take time, do not push it. If you are not a pro then you can do it! After 2-3 days start to exercise it under water, but not in the hot water OK. Do not put any bandage on, it makes the circulation worst. If it does not go away go to check it with the Dr. angie45hu@yahoo.com if you need more info

1st step would be having an appendage that actually requires amputation. 2nd would be to consult with a surgeon and let them do it :)

Ideally - get medical attention a.s.a.p, even if you have call the emergency doctors now for advise - dont take the risk with chest pains.

Oh no!, that really sucks! But, I think you know what to do already. Go see a doctor before it heals so he can put it back in place. If you are worried, got to the emergency room at your nearest hospital. Good Luck! And keep your head back from that lil rascal!

If the bleeding has stopped, you are probably safe to let it wait. Change the bandage twice a day and if you see any signs of infection, such as unusual color, swelling, darkness in the tissues, etc. then see a Dr. as soon as you can.\n\nFinger Injuries Treatment\nSelf-Care at Home\nControl bleeding by direct, continuous pressure for at least several minutes. Elevate the hand above the level of the heart to help slow the bleeding. \nFind torn or missing finger tissue and save it for reattachment, if possible.\nGently rinse it off with water if it is very dirty, and place it in a sealed plastic bag. \nPlace the bag on ice water and bring it with you to the hospital. \nCover the wound with a clean, dry bandage. \nRemove loose dirt or foreign bodies.\nDo not try to remove objects that are deeply or firmly embedded. \nRun your hand under plain tap water for several minutes, scrubbing gently with a washcloth if needed to remove dirt. \nDry and then apply an antibacterial ointment. \nIf the finger is obviously deformed, immobilize it with a splint in whatever position is least painful.\nAlmost any small rigid item such as a popsicle stick, a pen, or a piece of cardboard can be tied or taped to the finger as a splint. \nA finger can also be buddy-taped—that is, taped to the finger next to it.

Soak your foot. WHen the skin swells, the splinter should pop out. DON"T put animal meat on your open wound, ever. Bacon fat!?! You might as well rub dog poop on there! Jeeze!

munch away, it's just your own dried blood.  But, be sure to put some antibacterial ointment on the wound and a bandage, it will heal faster if it is covered.

1) elevate the affected leg(s) when possible\n2) compression stockings\n3) seek out evaluation by a qualified vascular surgeon; there are some new treatments that are effective and let the patient get back to work quickly.

Have the doctor tie rubber bands around them. What it does  is- cuts the blood supply to the hemorroid and it eventually falls off. \nEat lots and lots  of fiber!!

You should first use a torniquette upon the area you need to do the cannulation.After engorgement of veins beneath your torniquette and after using antiseptic solutions for cleaning the skin area you have to use an angiocath introducing to your vein , when pushing in piercing the skin in the direction of vein with almost 15 degree slope, you will see blood in the hub , in this time stop going in and hold the metal part firmly and push the plastic part in .then fix the angiocath .\nI think using this way you can successfully perform what you asked.\ngood luck.

boy.......i hope u like hurtin yourself.........\n well.ok..... tie up the base of the figer so tight that the blood circulation stops.\nnow when it's numb, take an ordinari razor blade and cut along the puss line........most of it will flow out.....but gently rub off the excess with an iodine soluton(raw). when the puss is gone and the wound is clean, dry it, pur some antibiotic cream(watever is available, and bandage it lightly yet firmly with a gauge(watever is not airtight... the wound heals better is the air circulation is fresh.\n wash daily with iodine and take antibiotics.
