If you cut to the radial artery you will bleed out very quickly.

The human body is a strange thing; when a limb is suddenly torn off, the body may occasionally recognize this traumatic event and clamp down on the blood vessels that would otherwise supply the limb and prevent blood loss. A cut on the wrist, conversely, doesn't generally signal a catastrophic change to the body, so the "clamping" effect doesn't occur, and it's much easier for the individual to bleed to death.

I relies upon on the problem. in the journey that they slit their wrists and do not search for medical interest, they're going to bleed to lack of existence. however, if the guy receives in a motor vehicle coincidence and the arm is pinned hostile to slightly of metal yet continues to be amputated, the metal would nicely be blocking off the uncovered artery thereby quickly appearing as a bandage scuffling with the wound to bleed because the metal is blocking off the bypass of blood from being released, yet at the same time as that piece of metal is bumped off, they're going to resume bleeding causing massive blood loss ensuing in lack of existence till the wound might want to be closed back or the bleeding might want to be stopped quickly till on the spot medical interest might want to be received. i desire that this solutions your question. -James

Surgical amputation used heat and tieing to close the cut blood vessels! Someone cutting their wrist does not, therefore is likely to die;

An amputation (these days) is usually done under close expert medical supervision to control and restrict blood loss and pain/shock to the patient. The aim is to save the patient's life, and all is done to make sure that the patient survives to recovery.

When someone cuts his/her wrist, he/she is attempting to kill him/herself so there wouldn't be any attempt to stop blood loss. Death is by severe loss of blood.

I think they'd both die in the same amount of time without medical help. If someone has lost a limb, usually a tornoquet (sorry if wrong spelling) is applied to reduce blood loss.

if his arm is amputated in theatre he'll have good care and blood transfusion and Iv fluids if needed. If it is lost in an accident, he may die.
