How to stop bleeding
Make sure you and the injured person are safe before assisting them. This is how you stop severe bleeding:
- Phone emergency services at 112 or ask someone else to phone them.
- Apply direct, firm pressure on the wound with your arms extended in an outstretched position, preferably using a bunched-up t-shirt, scarf or similar item.
- If you become fatigued or require assistance, ask someone to apply pressure on top of your hands.
- Maintain pressure until an ambulance arrives, and the paramedics say that you can release pressure.
