How could you communicate by simple scrutiny whether bleeding is arterial or venous?
Answers:
If next to every pulse there's a little geyser that hits the ceiling, that's an arterial bleeder.
Generally yes, if if is not bleeding from capillaries. Arterial blood is bright red due to oxygenation and venous blood is darker red due to lack of oxygenation.
If it hits the ceiling, it's arterial.
Arterial- Bright red and spurting.
Venous- Dark red and oozing.
It is not always easy to distinguish, but in nonspecific arterial bleeding is spurts of bright red blood, while venous bleeding is steady and darker in colour Source(s): 38 years in drug
