Resource Carotid Artery Location

[Gorgon]

We see that many users dont understand the proper location to press on the carotid artery.
We will try to keep this is simple as possible.
The artery has two branches on each side. The branch starts just above the Adam's apple. The internal branch supplies blood to the brain. The external brach supplies blood to the face. If you try to block the artery near your jaw you'll likely fail due to the fact it's so deep. The best place to block the artery is right by the Adam's apple. The two muscles in the front on your neck that make a v cover the artery so make sure your to the inside of them, towards your Adam's apple. See picture.

partial or full? its so so diffiult isnt it
Thanks for the info-damn thats lower than I thought thou-and as soon as any pressure is even anywhere near the adams apple it feels horrible and 'chokey', guess I was being pretty deluded in thinking all pain and any discomfort could be total avoided-pretty naive-god i'm jealous of those that have done things by accident-wish I could trade places with them and it so so sad to think of all those kids (and their family) that have done it-messing about with the black out game-not wanting to or realising what would happen-and here I am desperate-but unable to-its a sad and topsy turvy world

is it usual to find one side much harder to find/ much weaker pulse?

That generally signals an underlying health issue. But it should be in the same spot on both sides so if you can find it on one side just mirror it to know the location of the other.

I think women still have one - but is not as pronounced externally as in men

 

[DoNotLet2]

I think I found it but not sure.
