from “Staunching blood flow for surgical Purposes”
After leaving the heart and entering the aorta, energized blood is delivered to the body through several arteries. Blood is delivered to the legs via the femoral arteries. Pressure applied to the fold between the upper thigh and the lower abdomen will limit blood-flow to the leg. For operations involving the arms, it is best to obstruct the brachial artery. The artery is generally covered by the pectoral muscles where the arm meets the shoulder, so it must be obstructed lower down by applying pressure to the inner arm between the biceps and triceps. If blood-flow to the head must be reduced, take care in compressing the carotid artery such that you do not crush the nearby trachea.“
