Practical Applications

Bleeding Control and Wound Care

Stopping the Bleed

Quick action is vital for severe bleeding.

  • Direct Pressure: Press firmly on the wound.
  • Dressings and Bandages: Cover and secure wounds.
  • Tourniquets: For limbs when bleeding can't be stopped by pressure.

Wound Care

Prevent infection by keeping wounds clean and covered.

Real-World Application

A construction worker is cut by machinery. The EMR uses a clean cloth to apply pressure, then wraps the wound with a bandage.

Examples

  • Applying a tourniquet to a deeply bleeding arm injury.

  • Bandaging a scraped knee at a playground.
