Anyone have a good reference for time to exsanguination from an arterial laceration?
Generally seems accepted that 2-5 minutes is enough time to bleed to death from femoral or carotid artery laceration, but does anyone have a reference for this data point?

Thank you @dennisrenmd.bsky.social & Peds Pandemic Network for a great conversation & podcast!
If you have never heard of #DisasterGap, have a listen. Disaster Gap is the most important, most overlooked interval at a disaster & Spontaneous Responders are the most invisible heroes within it.
