Clinical presentations of CB and their outcome variables.

Type of CB	External compression	Outcome
Open neck bleeding	External compression possible	Outcome will depend on the intensity of the hemorrhage and the rapidity of compression
Intraluminal bleeding	External compression not relevant	Outcome will depend on the rapidity of securing the airway along with the ability to perform an intraluminal compression
