Method Question on CBT by Hypoxia through "Cam buckle" + Plastic bag.

[UnPlugMe69]

Question = If the Cam buckle it tightened as hard as possible, Will it be enough to compress the carotid arteries to make me pass out?

Since it is a one pull and has a friction lock isn't it ideal?

Any advice? Will it work?

Context = Planning to CBT by Hypoxia through "Cam buckle" + Plastic bag (and normal sting to keep the plastic bag in place.)

I think a ratcheting strap would be more effective, but, ofc, ymmv.

I did consider that but it's buckle seemed to have sharp mechanical components that might damage the bag, though I could use some thin foam under the buckle to prevent plastic bag tearing and plausible skin irritation.

I would personally prefer a ratchet buckle than a cam buckle. You should be able to apply more force to the mechanism using the level of the ratchet buckle handle. I see a Research Gate article indicating this method is effective.

Honestly, don't think you'd really need the bag if going the strap route. I think the bag is just going to add a layer of complication to the whole situation insomuch as the CO2 you exhale into the bag will be breathed back into your lungs, which will, in turn, set off your hypercapnic response.

The problem with a bag over your head is that you will be breathing in your own CO2, which has a very good chance or making you panic and rip off the bag.

If you are planning to cut off the blood supply to your head, putting a bag over it really....

Locked can type faster than I can.
