01

TAP URGENCY: MODERATE — bilateral carotid compression once the loop closes

02

Release the instant a tap registers; the elbow pinch can feel structurally stuck

03

Avoid cranking the head sideways — finish forward only

04

Talk through the position with new partners before applying any pressure

05

Practitioners with neck injuries should drill the grip without finishing pressure
