Trauma Care and Bleeding Control

Handling Trauma

Trauma situations include falls, crashes, and violence. EMRs must know how to treat injuries and prevent further harm.

Bleeding Control

  • Direct Pressure: Use a sterile dressing and press firmly.
  • Tourniquets: Apply for severe limb bleeding that won’t stop.
  • Elevation: Raise the injured part above the heart if possible.

Treating Shock

  • Keep the patient warm and comfortable.
  • Monitor vital signs.
  • Lay the patient flat and elevate legs if safe.

Real-World Examples

You respond to a bike crash with a deep leg wound—quick bleeding control saves a life.

Examples

  • Using a clean cloth and pressure to stop arm bleeding after a skateboarding injury.

  • Applying a tourniquet to a leg wound at a construction site.
