If a ER Surgical Doctor accidatly sliced an artery how could you stop the blood.

There are various ways to stop an accidental arterial bleeding during a surgical operation. The appropriate approach depends on the nature of the bleeding and its location. Hemostasis should be the priority in dealing with cases like this. For example, if the bleeding is only minor, application of pressure in the area of bleeding may be enough to stop the blood flow. Vasoactive substances can also be applied in the area to stop instances of minor bleeding. In more severe cases, the suture and cauterization of the artery should be performed, to close off the blood vessel, to prevent the blood from coming out. Surgical clamps may also be useful to close off or hold to opening of the artery. All these options are possible during instances such as this, but careful surgical operation is still the most valuable precaution, so occurrences such as this one can be prevented in the first place.
