To control bleeding, there are several steps you can take:
1. Apply steady pressure: This is done by using a clean cloth or sterile gauze pad and applying direct pressure to the wound. This helps to slow down or stop the bleeding.
2. Hold the wounded body part below the level of the heart: By keeping the injured area lower than the heart, you can help reduce blood flow to that area and minimize bleeding.
3. Cover the wound with sterile gauze: Once the bleeding has been controlled, cover the wound with a clean cloth or sterile gauze to protect it from contamination and prevent further bleeding.
4. Remove blood-soaked gauze and replace with clean gauze: If the gauze becomes soaked with blood, it is important to remove it gently and replace it with a fresh clean one. This helps maintain the pressure on the wound and continue to control bleeding.
By following these steps, you can effectively control bleeding in emergency situations.
