Even if your carotid artery was cut by a doctor on the operating table you would mostly likely still die. If you aren't in the hospital (at home for instance) and your friend cuts his carotid, by the time you get the phone and dial 911 he will be dead. I have seen it happen. You can try direct pressure but...

If a main artery in the leg is cut how long will it take for you to bleed to death?
If it is the femoral artery, you will bleed out extremely fast. Probably faster than it will take you to get to a hospital. Being the main artery in the leg that comes directly from the aorta, it contains an immense amount of pressure, which means, LOTS of blood.
How long can you live with a severed artery?
It depends on which artery. If your femoral artery is severed, you have minutes to live without immediate medical attention. Same for the Carotid artery in your neck, or the jugular vein in your neck. If the aorta artery feeding your heart goes, same thing. I would say the smaller the artery, the longer you may have to live before you bleed out. The biggest life threat as far as arterial bleeds is the aorta. If any part of the aorta ruptures, a surgeon couldn't save you if he already had you cut open on the table. Essentially, if the aorta ruptures, it will only take about 3 beats of the heart to bleed out. The further away from the heart you get, the slower the bleed will be, but any compromised artery is potentially life threatening. The femoral artery in the thigh (the femur is the thigh bone, hence the name fermoral) is another big bleeder. The carotid is the second biggest life threat if it's compromised. So basically, if the aorta ruptures, 3 heart beats. If the carotid ruptures, perhaps 2 minutes. If the femoral is severed, perhaps 5 minutes. The difference is that the carotid and the femoral arteries can be controlled with proper treatment. The aorta is untreatable once it's compromised.
When you will die when you cut vein or artery?
It depends on the severity of the cut. If you cut an artery, you are more likely to die, or at least more quickly.
Is it more dangerous to cut a vein or artery and why?
An artery because blood is pumped through the arteries at a much higher pressure than the veins. Therefore if you cut an artery you will lose a lot more blood a lot quicker than if you cut a vein.

What would happen if you cut the carotid arteries?
If the carotid artery is cut or severed it will cause death pretty quickly if the person does not receive medical attention quickly. You probably have minutes to live if the wound is deep enough.
What is true about the blood in the carotid artery?
When blood flow to the brain is cut off, it causes a stroke. A stroke, in turn, can lead to brain damage, long-term disabilities, or even death.
Why do you have to gently palpate one carotid artery at a time and not palpating both carotid arteries deeply and simultaneously?
If you palpate both, you may cut off cerebral blood flow (to the brain) and cause your patient to pass out.
Can the jugular vein be fixed after it is cut?
If either the jugular vein or the carotid artery is completely severed, the venous tissue will retract and will be extremely difficult, if not impossible to repair.
What artery will bleed out the fastest if cut?
The carotid artery, located in the neck, will bleed out the fastest if cut due to its large size and high pressure. Immediate medical attention is critical to control the bleeding and prevent severe blood loss.
If a main artery in the leg is cut how long will it take for you to bleed to death?
If it is the femoral artery, you will bleed out extremely fast. Probably faster than it will take you to get to a hospital. Being the main artery in the leg that comes directly from the aorta, it contains an immense amount of pressure, which means, LOTS of blood.

Will you live longer if you hold your breath if your throat is cut?
it depends, if the carotid artery and/or jugular are cut then you cant do anything about it, your virtually dead. if your windpipe, esophagus is cut then it depends, you want to keep as much blood out of the lungs as possible but if your throat is cut you might not want to live for very long... It mainly depends on the circumstances. if your close to the hospital then try not to breath as much. but holding your breath will also harm you... basically if your throat is slit then you are SOL man.
