[|Human|] Hey,  my friend cut her radial artery last night. Her dad told me it was on her forearm not her wrist. I have no idea if shes alive or dead Ive tried everything to get hold of her, Im so worried. What are the chances for dying of something like that, how deep would she have to had cut. If not what kind of long term damage could there be? How much blood would she have lost roughly, would that damage her brain? Thank you. :)
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  There are so many factors to decide the outcome of the cut of any artery. There are arteries of different sizes, radial artery is small at the wrist, and a bit big at the fore arm. Depending on the size and time lapsed decides the loss of blood, and condition of the patient. After a long time means the loss blood will be more, and the patient will be in coma, and may affect any organ.  We can have a book of 1000 pages on this issue. The attending doctor only can decide the present condition.  Wishing her a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
