The carotid control technique is not a chokehold. 1, record 1, English, - carotid%20control%20technique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The technique, when applied properly and per training, does not restrict breathing and does not put any pressure on the windpipe. It applies pressure to both sides of a person's neck, without restricting the airway. It may cause, but not always, a very brief period of unconsciousness that allows the police officer to safely place the individual in handcuffs. 1, record 1, English, - carotid%20control%20technique
