== Blind haemostatic suture == * Beware of major vessels close by - the bleeding could be coming from that vessel, so you need to expose it * Monofilament suture (Prolene) on as big a needle as possible - a tapered needle with a half-curve is ideal * Place first bite right on the site of bleeding, then lift up so you can see which side the bleeding is coming from * Pull on the suture before tying to see if it works - you may want to turn the figure of 8 into a figure of 16 * Try something else if a single haemostatic suture doesn't work Aortic clamping [[Category:Operating theatre]]
