May 29, 2021 · The common carotid artery, which supplies oxygenated blood to the head and neck, divide in the neck where it forms the internal and external carotid arteries. The preliminary research I’ve done suggests the surgeon may have a duty to before surgery, use radiographic imaging to determine the location of the carotid artery branches so to avoid ...
Because of the dangers associated with the carotid restraint, this use of force must be objectively reasonable in light of the circumstances the officers the officer is facing . Some police agencies deem this technique as deadly force for obvious reasons and can only utilize when the officer is facing an imminent threat of serious bodily injury ...
Also, if breathing is cut off for too long it can cause serious brain damage or death. With a carotid restraint, or “sleeper” chokehold, you compress the arteries at the sides of the neck, cutting off blood flow to the brain so the subject loses consciousness but not obstructing the airway so the subject cannot breathe.
The one time a chokehold case made it to the United States Supreme Court was the 1983 case, Los Angeles v. Lyons. This case was brought by Adolph Lyons, a young African American man who was choked out by an LAPD officer during a routine traffic stop.
An Arm-Bar chokehold is where you place the forearm across the front of the neck, compressing the trachea (windpipe) to cut off oxygen and stop breathing. There’s a serious danger of crushing the trachea when applying this hold as it can cause damages to the organs of the neck. Also, if breathing is cut off for too long it can cause serious brain ...
However, the carotid restraint can easily turn into an arm bar during a struggle. Usually if a subject dies after being choked with the “carotid restraint hold” the cause of death is listed as asphyxiation. Imagine a scenario where a cop is trying to subdue a subject who is panicked and struggling against restraint.
Police agencies in some jurisdictions have continued to defend using the carotid restraint hold for decades, claiming that it is safer and more effective than using a police baton, taser, or pepper spray. Other jurisdictions have banned its use entirely while still other jurisdictions have ruled that it may only be used in extreme situations ...
There is a narrow margin of error even when correctly applying the carotid restraint to avoid serious injury and death. A big problem is that when a subject is panicked and thrashing around one twist of the body can change a carotid restraint into a deadly chokehold. In every deadly incident the officer involved claimed to have used ...
A carotid endarterectomy is a serious medical procedure designed to reduce the risk of a stroke for patients with atherosclerotic debris (plaque) that can block the flow of blood. It is a routinely performed yet significant procedure that usually requires a hospital stay.
Doctors’ medical malpractice lawyers’ typically argue that injury to the hypoglossal and other nerves are a known risk to an endarterectomy. It is true. There are risks to almost anything. It is a known risk that you might get hit by a drunk at a bar. But that does not absolve the drunk of responsibility.
