Everyone should know the arterial pulsation point.

When stopping bleeding, it is very important to hold down the arterial pulsation point. Now, let's introduce the most palpable arterial pulsation point in the whole body.

The first is the beating point of superficial temporal artery, which is located near the temple in front of our tragus. When bleeding, we hold the position of the beating point of superficial temporal artery with both hands.

Next is the beating point of brachial artery, between biceps brachii and triceps brachii under our armpits. We found its beating point with our hands and pressed it on the humerus to stop the bleeding.

In the lower third of the upper arm, you can also feel a beating point below the brachial artery, between the biceps brachii and triceps brachii, and press here.

With further bleeding in the lower palm, we can compress the beating points of radial artery and ulnar artery. Press the radial artery with one thumb, and press the beating point of ulnar artery with the other four fingers to stop bleeding.

Further down refers to arterial bleeding, then we can press the digital arteries on both sides of our fingers to stop bleeding.

The most obvious beating point of lower limbs is the femoral artery beating point, which is located at the midpoint and both sides of our groin. If there is bleeding in one lower limb, we can press the beating point with our thumb.

Or press the whole abdominal groove tightly with the palm root to stop bleeding.

Let's talk about the hemostasis method of acupressure artery beating point. What is the principle of this method?

Our arteries are like water pipes, and the distal ends are flowing. At this time, if I want to stop the distal end from flowing, we can squash the proximal end of the water pipe and stop the distal end from flowing.

This is the principle of acupuncture to stop bleeding at the beating point of artery. This method is suitable for massive bleeding caused by head and limb trauma.

This method is actually a backup hemostasis method. Why?

Because both the International Red Cross and the American Heart Association think this method is good in theory, but the actual effect is not very exact, so it is not recommended to use it first.

But in fact, we also found that some ordinary non-medical personnel can master this method skillfully and achieve good results, especially in the case that direct compression hemostasis and tourniquet hemostasis cannot be implemented at once, this method is an effective alternative.

The athlete mentioned in the last article stopped the massive bleeding of femoral artery by pressing the artery with a needle to stop bleeding, and then he had a chance to put on a tourniquet.

Let me introduce you to several easy-to-master arterial pulsation points.

1 is the beating point of superficial temporal artery.

We can clearly touch a jumping point with our fingertips at the temple position above the front of our ear trace. The superficial temporal artery supplying blood to the first 2/3 of the back of our head is bilateral, so when there is massive hemorrhage in the head, we can find the beating point of the superficial temporal artery with the fingertips of the index finger and the middle finger, and flatten it on both sides with our hands, so that the posterior 2/3 can be used to stop bleeding.

The second is the beating point of brachial artery.

In the armpit of our upper arm, between the biceps brachii and triceps brachii. The red part is the brachial artery, so we can also feel that its beating point is under the upper arm 1/3, which is the upper inner side of the elbow.

How can we stop bleeding when our forearm is bleeding heavily?

It's actually quite simple. We can insert the thumb of the healthy hand into the contralateral armpit, touch the location of the beating point of the brachial artery, and then squeeze horizontally to stop bleeding.

Sometimes the scene is so tense that even if we put our hands in, we may not find the jumping point. Don't worry. At this time, if we have a mineral water bottle at hand, we can put it directly under the armpit of the injured limb and clip it tightly inside, which can also achieve the purpose of stopping bleeding.

Further down is the beating point of the ulnar and radial artery. Where is the beating point of ulnar and radial artery?

When the palm or back of hand is bleeding heavily, press the radial artery with your thumb. The other four fingers press the ulnar artery on the ulnar side and press hard to stop the bleeding of the whole palm.

Let's do a little experiment. Hold the fist tightly with one hand, and ischemia will occur after holding the fist. At this time, we first press the position of our radial artery with four fingers, that is, the position of our pulse condition in traditional Chinese medicine, and then press the position of our ulnar artery horizontally with our thumb. After holding it tightly, our hands will open. If you press it effectively, you will find that your palm is pale. At this time, there is no arterial blood supply to the whole palm.

However, it should be noted that there are two arteries in the wrist, one is the radial artery and the other is the ulnar artery. If we relax any artery, the blood supply will be restored. What happens when I remove my thumb at this time? Soon the palm will turn rosy, and at this time the arterial blood supply to our palm will be restored. Therefore, the radial artery and ulnar artery should be compressed at the same time when bleeding, so as to achieve an effective hemostasis method.

Next, the pulse point of finger artery is introduced.

The arteries in our hands, especially the arteries, have shapes on both sides.

Therefore, when we accidentally cut the edge of our fingers in our life, for example, when cutting cabbage, we may cut off the artery, and this blood may spurt out one or two centimeters at once. Then at this time, we can quickly and forcefully pinch and flatten the finger arteries on both sides of the finger root, and we can immediately achieve the purpose of stopping bleeding.

This is the most important arterial pulse point of the lower limbs, the inguinal arterial pulse point, which is very important. Lower extremity bleeding is very urgent, and sometimes it will cause hemorrhagic shock if it can't be stopped. The whole lower limbs, thighs and calves, including feet, are supplied with blood by common blood vessels. This blood vessel is the femoral artery.

If acupressure artery hemostasis is very effective for this blood vessel, where can I touch it? The most obvious pulse point of femoral artery, in the middle of our thigh root, can feel very obvious arterial pulse.

When there is a life-threatening hemorrhage in our lower limbs, we can actually think that there is a common blood vessel at the root of our thighs, called femoral artery. Then we can press the root of our thigh tightly with the thumb or heel of our hand to deflate the femoral artery, so that there is no arterial blood supply to the whole lower limb, and the purpose of emergency hemostasis can be achieved.

Of course, the location of the arterial beating point is sometimes difficult to find, so sometimes the effect of acupressure on the arterial beating point is not exact. However, if direct compression hemostasis, tourniquet hemostasis and hemostatic powder hemostasis cannot be implemented immediately, don't forget that there is another way to save lives.

Therefore, at ordinary times, each of us should understand the anatomical characteristics of our body and be familiar with where our blood vessels are, so that once needed, we can immediately find some beating points and achieve a very magical hemostasis effect.
