Medical - Medical (general) / human body, medical procedures, sayings | | English term or phrase: pressure calf | "You asked a very interesting question which was ‘What’s it like when an artery like a femoral artery gets torn’ So, we thought we’d try and simulate it using some straightforward kit. Most surgeons are allowed to see it once in an operating theatre to realize what happens if you knock a clamp off.
Kwame
Rick brought along a ***pressure calf*** to simulate a beating heart. (give it a good hard squeeze) The tube running out of it acts as an artery. When this is severed the blood loss can kill within minutes. The body has nine pints of blood in it and 60% of that has to be lost before certain death. Wonderful"
