- How is the work of the arterial pressure?

Wrap a piece of broad cloth over twice the level of bleeding, and then make a node and then the other node, place a wooden stick or a pen and then roll the stick or pen until the closure of the artery completely.

Write the time you work pressure of the arteries, because you are removing the pressure every 20 minutes for 20 seconds until the blood passes to the injured party (to avoid gangrene).
