Bleeding and Wounds

 Bleeding and Wounds:

   To stop bleeding, firmly squeeze the sides of the wound together or apply pressure with the thumbs at the sides of the wound. Cleanse around and away from the wound, taking care not to disturb any blood clot. Apply and maintain pressure to bleeding part with dressing, cover with pad and bandage firmly. If bleeding is not controlled, apply more pads and increase pressure with the hand or additional bandages. Immobilize the injured part and treat for shock.
