The surgeon's handbook on the treatment of wounded in war : a prize essay . Digital compression of the brachial Digital compression of the femoral artery. \25 6) The same may be said of the external iliac artery in its upperpart, where it can be compressed against the brim of the pelvis. It canbe compressed more easily and for a longer time against the upperborder of the horizontal ramus of the pubes, shortly before its exitfrom the pelvis above the middle of Poupart>s ligament. 7) The femoral artery is most securely compressed just belowPouparts ligament against ileo-pectineal eminence (fig. 252). It isfound in the centre of a line drawn from the anterior superior spineof the ilium to the symphysis pubis. As far as the lower third of thethigh it can be compressed against the femur; but digital compressionis difficult and uncertain on account of the thickness of the interveningsoft parts, at least in fat or muscular subjects. As the digital compression for any length of time can only becarried out by a skilled and powerful hand, and as a rule cannot becontinued during a long transport, surge
