  • Patient with a pulsatile hematoma = damage to an arterial structure
  • Based on location at the base of the neck, the most likely vessel involved is the subclavian artery
  • Note: If the thoracic aorta were damaged, the patient would likely have more severe hemodynamic collapse due to the amount of bleeding that would be produced
