Bite Release Pressure Point

Nurses General Nursing

Published

My friend is a nurse and she has told me that she heard about a bite release pressure point just below the septum. Has anyone heard of this and do you know if it works/is it appropriate? Why I need to know this is a long story...but I need a good bite release technique. Thanks!

Use the pressure point in The shoulder, you cause pain but won't cause any damage basically just squeeze the muscle with forefinger and thumb

(Again, unless this (or anything similar) is a technique taught and authorized for use by your employer, one could possibly be looking at discipline at work (up to and including being fired) and possible criminal charges and/or licensure difficulties, at least in psychiatric settings (I believe things are often more lenient in med-surg settings.))

I work as a Learning Care Assistant.

We're taught to place our hand on the back of the person's head so they can't move back and to push into the bite as it forces their mouth to open.

Once they open we withdraw the limb and remove the hand from the back of the head.

It's a safer way as it allows us to use minimal force and allows us to stop further injury
