Bleeding and Wound Management

Controlling Bleeding Fast

Bleeding control is one of the most important EMR skills. Acting quickly can prevent shock and save lives.

Steps for Wound Care

  • Wear gloves for protection.
  • Apply direct pressure with a clean cloth.
  • Elevate the injured area.
  • Use a tourniquet for severe, uncontrollable bleeding.
  • Bandage wounds securely.

Practical Tips

Keep calm, reassure the patient, and always check for additional injuries.

Examples

  • Bandaging a playground cut to stop bleeding.

  • Applying a tourniquet for a deep arm injury after a bike accident.
