CTB via blood pressure cuff

[FlatHead]

I happen to own a blood pressure cuff, one of the ones that you wrap around your arm and it inflates and temporarily cuts off blood flow. I was thinking I could just wrap it around my neck and have it squeeze the carotid arteries, allowing a method of CTB in line with the night night method. My cuff doesn't quite fit around my neck, but that's actually a good thing-with some extra velcro strips, I can get it around, and now there's no pinching on my trachea, and therefore no air hunger.

The problem is, this cuff, the little machine it's attached to, is programmed to only inflate for a brief period of time, and then automatically deflate. It gets to the point where it cuts off blood flow, but once it gets there it only stays there for seconds before deflating. I need longer than that.

My question is: does anyone know how these blood pressure cuffs deflate? My initial thought was that the little tube that connects the cuff to the machine would be where it deflates through, but pinching it off didn't stop it from deflating. There must be some kind of opening (or openings) somewhere that the air escapes through to deflate. All I would have to do is block them off and this would be a very easy method of CTB. Can anyone help me out here?

My guess is that this is probably not a realistic way to ctb- the night night method, which is based on a similar idea, uses much stronger force to push down on the arteries, and even this does seem like a method that not everyone could get to work- it's not like a rope, which is simple. Which people go unconscious their hands still naturallt clutch at whatever is around thier neck- I think this would happen and it would get torn off- unlike in full suspension hanging, where there is typically no way to get the rope off once unconscious.

I can't see how it couldn't be enough force. The way blood pressure monitors work is by completely blocking off the blood vein for a short while to enable them to measure the way the blood comes back in in bursts (your heartrate) once they deflate. If it can block off veins in your arm, surely it could block off veins in your neck? I admit that I don't know this for certain, however.

As for my subconscious taking over and ripping it off-well, I can always just bind my hands if that happens on an attempt.

Apparently there's been an instance of it working before so it's probably not impossible, I just don't see how you could keep the pressure. But now I'm curious about this method…

just out of my head, the problem that i see in this is, how would you target the carotides with such an imprecise force application?

There is nothing new under the sun, evidently.

Alright, I've done a bit of investigating.

I cut open the blood pressure cuff to get a better look at its innards. The tube goes inside and connects to a white sac. This sac is the only part that inflates. I haven't cut this, obviously.

The white sac is smooth all around and has no openings. There are only two ways for the air to possibly escape when it deflates. One, back up the tube. I don't think it can possibly be this as I've squeezed and pinched the tube as hard as I could and that didn't stop it from rapidly deflating. Two, out the area where the tube goes inside the sac. Okay when I said there were no openings I was lying-there is exactly one opening, where the tube goes inside of the sac, and expands out into a square shaped thingamajig underneath the sacs surface.

I believe that this is where it deflates through. My working theory is that it doesn't even manually open/close any holes-instead, the hole is always open, and to inflate it it simply puts air in faster than it can go out.

I've tried sealing up this area. I've used both modelling clay and duck tape to achieve this, but neither seem to have worked-though they may have at least slowed down the speed at which it deflates?

Does anyone know a good method of creating an air tight seal using cheap/household materials? And, once again, does anyone know exactly how these things deflate? If the opening where the tube goes in isn't it than I am truly stumped as to how this device is even possible.

This is the most interesting take on the night-night method I've seen. Following this thread.

Okay, I've been able to work on it a bit more. So it looks like the air escapes by going back up the tube it came through, indeed. But it ALSO escapes some other way. There's TWO ways the air goes out. And I believe one of them is the hole around where the tube goes into the sac. I believe this because, after inflating the sac, I press on it, and if the tube is pinched then it's way harder to deflate than if the tube is unobstructed. However, it still does deflate, albeit slowly, and I can just barely hear a squeaking of air coming from the aforementioned hole.

So, now I'm just looking for ways to cover up the hole such that air can't escape. I've tried duct tape and I've shaped modelling clay around it, but both seem to allow a tiny tiny amount of air to escape. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to getting it air tight? For reference, the hole is roughly rectangular and has the tube jammed into it.

blood pressure cuff is not designed for night night method
cudos to your innovative thinking,but making too much modification on the pressure cuff would make more chances to fail
you can;t stand the apparatus failing after you black out
waking up again is horrible
if you're an innotive type of person, try charcoal
