Detailed explanation-1: -First aid actions to manage external bleeding include applying direct pressure to the wound, maintaining the pressure using pads and bandages, and, raising the injured limb above the level of the heart if possible.
Detailed explanation-2: -Elevate the wound and apply direct pressure. 1. Elevate the wound above the heart and apply firm pressure with a clean compress (such as a clean, heavy gauze pad, washcloth, T-shirt, or sock) directly on the wound. Call out for someone to get help, or call 911 yourself.
Detailed explanation-3: -Do not remove blood soaked ones. If the bleeding cannot be controlled, apply pressure to a nearby artery, called a pressure point. A pressure point is a spot on the body where you can squeeze the artery against the bone.
Detailed explanation-4: -Open the clothing over the bleeding wound. Wipe away any pooled blood. Pack (stuff) the wound with bleeding control gauze (preferred), plain gauze, or clean cloth. Apply steady pressure with both hands directly on top of the bleeding wound. Push down as hard as you can. Hold pressure to stop bleeding.
