Control of Bleeding

Controlling bleeding involves applying direct pressure to the wound to slow blood flow and allow clot formation. Elevating the injured area reduces blood pressure in the vessels, further decreasing bleeding. If bleeding persists, applying a clean cloth or bandage and maintaining firm pressure helps control it. In severe cases, additional measures like applying a tourniquet or seeking urgent medical care may be necessary. The goal is to limit blood loss, prevent infection, and stabilize the victim until professional treatment is available. Proper technique and prompt action are crucial to effectively manage bleeding and reduce complications.
