In fact, short track speed skating cuts are more serious than ice hockey, on the one hand, because the short track speed skating ice blade is thinner, thickness is only 1-1.3 millimeters, while the thickness of the ice hockey ice blade is 2.8 millimeters. On the other hand, short track speed skating is very fast, the fastest up to 50 kilometers per hour, in the high-speed state once cut people, the consequences are unimaginable.

Does a throat cut always result in death?
Anatomically, the neck includes the pharynx, the trachea, and outside the trachea is the cricoid cartilage.
If the cut throat is not too strong, it will only cause damage to the left jugular vein or airway disruption.
Even if there is a break, breathing can still be maintained for a period of time, but when blood from the wound enters the trachea, it will easily cause asphyxiation and death.
In addition, the injured person may die from air embolism. The combination of pain and fear makes it easier to cause an airborne pulmonary embolism, hastening death.
The most dangerous is not more than the cut throat injury to the large blood vessels, resulting in a large amount of bleeding, resulting in hemorrhagic shock, can not stop the bleeding in time, will be killed on the spot!
Cut throat this way first aid!
Blood plays a very important role in the human body, when the blood loss reaches 800 milliliters, the patient will have pale skin, weakness, shortness of breath. Reaching 1500 milliliters will cause insufficient blood supply to the brain, and the patient will feel thirsty and irritable, blurred vision, or even coma and death.
Therefore, no matter which cause and which part of the discovery of bleeding, should be the first time to use the items around to stop bleeding in a timely and effective manner, and as soon as possible to seek medical attention.
The most effective and direct way to stop bleeding is: direct pressure to stop bleeding! Neck hemorrhage due to the difficulty in determining where the bleeding point is, you should use the palm of your hand rather than your fingers to apply pressure (be careful not to compress the airway), press hard and continue to press until it stops or a healthcare professional takes over.

First aid for laryngeal trauma
Hemostasis and anti-shock: The emergency treatment for hemorrhage is temporary hemostasis of the common carotid artery by acupressure to reduce the amount of bleeding. When the patient's general condition improves or when the conditions for hemostasis are available, examine the wound in detail and find out the active bleeding point. Smaller blood vessels should be hemostatized and ligated with vascular clamps, larger arteriovenous fissures should be closed with fine silk suture, and vascular anastomosis should be performed if necessary. While cooperating with hemostasis, quickly open the venous access, rapidly transfuse fluids and blood to maintain effective blood volume, prevent and correct shock.
Keeping the airway open: Keeping the airway open is the most basic and main measure in the process of first aid. Closely observe the patient's breathing. Laryngeal trauma patients often need to place tracheal tube, gastric tube, T-tube. Tracheotomy is the most common rescue measure for laryngeal trauma, and keeping the tracheal tube open is the guarantee of maintaining breathing. Laryngeal trauma is often accompanied by laryngopharyngeal injury, in order to protect the trauma, supplemental nutrition, need to be placed for a longer period of time gastric tube. A T-tube is placed to support the laryngeal cartilage to prevent laryngeal stenosis.
