i think the point was don't try to control the bleeding until after the airway is obtained. You would be amazed at how people stop cutting and start clamping not recognizing in the flurry that seconds and minutes are passing while the patient has no airway. As surgeons we tend to control bleeding as we go so it goes against the natural instinct if that makes sense.
