10/4, just wanted to clarify the issue. I'm no surgeon but have taken college and professional first aid courses and have a nice piece of rubber hose in all my med kits. It's worth a try to save a life. The artery may just be nicked, too
I was taught that if you know help is on its way apply pressure by standing on the wound. We got to practice on pigs in teams of 3, to try to clamp it with a hemostat and failed miserably.
