Re: Passenger Loses His Arm On A Commuter Train.
hi there first post, i just wanted to say hes not bleeding not because of shock, at least th definition i understand shock to be...but when limbs are torn off not cut or sliced off but torn off quickly the human body is designed to swell up the area and stop blood flow. this site is interesting lol

Re: Passenger Loses His Arm On A Commuter Train.
It is true. It is a survival mechanism. When a significant breech is detected the vessels may ( not always thus exanguination) " clamp down" in shock where there is vasoconstriction, slowing or stopping blood loss for a period of time.This is only a compensatory mechanism. It is temporary and must be assisted with surgical intervention and likely transfusion or volume expanders such as hespan. I have seen this repeatedly, but the most profound was a chainsaw wound where they drove themselves in from a rural area and they gaping wound was not bleeding!

Re: Passenger Loses His Arm On A Commuter Train.
To me it looks like it was pulled off at the socket. If he got his sleeve/arm stuck in the door, it could've just separated at the skin and not tear the upper muscles so no significant bleeding. (also why it looks so smooth)  |
