Severe bleeding from a torn or cut major blood vessel can cause death in a matter of a few minutes. Severe bleeding from a jugular vein in the neck, the brachial artery in the armpit, or the femoral artery in the thigh. The advanced trauma life support for a person who has lost about 40% of their blood volume this could be @ 3 to 4 pints of blood recommends that the flow of blood be stopped eg clamped, or use of another hemostatic agent eg Celox gauze, or a tourniquet and replacement of lost blood volume via transfusion.The surgical repair of the damaged vessel is the final step.
