how to treat severe bleeding

This is a sequence of how to stop and treat severe bleeding

We as humans have about 4.7 to 5.5 L of blood so there's not much blood to go around so losing more than half a litre of blood could be life threatening. All types of blood loss could be fatal including a nose bleed!

These are the steps you need to follow to treat severe bleeding.

First, apply pressure to the wound with the person hand for a start then put another item on, it could be a pair of underwear if they are clean, it could be anything as long as it is NOT fluffy and it is clean but don’t put your hand on the person you are treating!

Secondly You need to put a bandage around the wound, to do this you take a bandage and make sure it looks like a happy snail, to make a happy snail you have the bandage roll on top of the bandage, then rape around the wound making sure it is not too tight to know you should only be able to put two fingers in either end of the bandage.

Thirdly you need to phone an ambulance. If you do not have a phone shout for help once someone comes to your aid asked them to call an ambulance and to come back once they do so to know they did phone the ambulance.

Next you need to make sure that they elevate their the wound above the heart so if it is on their leg make them lie down and put their noses in the air because blood is a liquid so it is hard for it to go upwards.

Lastly when the ambulance arrives you need to tell the ambulance crew exactly what you did and what time you found the person bleeding.

Overall these steps are very important and could save someones life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
