01
TAP URGENCY: MODERATE—high elbow angle changes compression vector significantly
02
Release immediately; this angle variation may surprise partner with pressure direction
03
Apply pressure gradually so partner can identify the specific pressure sensation
04
Partner communication helps as pressure direction differs from standard guillotine
05
Position elbows carefully to target carotids rather than windpipe
