debo, when ligating, yes, leave long tails so the surgeons can find them during exploratory surgery. that is taught in tss however, during ctm we are simply clamping the bleeders off. why instead of ligating i'm assuming is the clock. beyond that i don't know. in a real situation, once i was able to i'd ligate and then unclamp.
paramedic40, clamping bleeders isn't really that hard. i dont know what you do or where you're at but if you can find somone with any experience with it and work in a hospital i'm sure you can learn how very quickly. mesentary arteries can be confusing because they are so many of them but larger arteries are pretty easy to spot. if in doubt, follow the blood. haha. however, i do comend you for not simply trying something you've never done before without someone more experienced to guide you.
