The international encyclopaedia of surgery; a systematic treatise on the theory and practice of surgery . Digital compression of the brachial artory. (Esraarch.) Digital coraprcssion of the femoral artery. (Esmarch.) For the axillary artery^ the anterior fold of the arm-pit marks the spotwhere, when the arm is raised, the artery can readily be compressed againstthe head of the humerus, with the fingers. For the brachial artery^ the centre of the upper arm is the place where, atthe inner border of the biceps, this vessel can easily be compressed againstthe humerus. (Fig. 344.) The fingers should be placed over the artery, alongthe inner edge of the biceps muscle, with the thumb on the opposite side ofthe limb. The abdominal aorta, when the walls of the belly are relaxed and the intes-tines empty, can be compressed against the spinal column on a level withthe umbilicus. To eftectually make digital compression of the abdominalaorta, the patient must be in a recumbent position, with the shoulders raisedand the limbs drawn up, so as to relax the abdominal parietes; three fingersof one hand sho
