Absorbing the blood with absorbent cotton as it runs from the vessel will prevent clogging. If too much ether has not been used, the blood will continue running fifteen minutes. When it has nearly ceased flowing, the carotid artery must be found by making a slit in the muscle alongside of the trachea just mediad of the jugular, as indicated by the line d (Fig. 3). Having cut through the muscle, two white cords are seen along either side of the trachea. The medial one may be red, as it is the carotid artery. The lateral one, lying in the same sheath with the preceding, is the vagus or tenth cranial nerve. Separate the artery Fig. 3.
