How to do acupressure to stop bleeding?

There is no need to tell you how important blood is to people. When people are injured, they usually bleed. If they bleed too much, it will pose a threat to their lives. Finger pressure hemostasis is quite common, especially when arterial bleeding occurs, this method is often used, but many people may not know much about this method, and it is also divided into many types.

Use your fingers to compress the artery near the wound to block arterial blood flow and effectively achieve rapid hemostasis. Finger pressure hemostasis is used for wounds with heavy bleeding.

Operation requirements: ① Press the arterial pressure point accurately. ② Apply moderate pressure until the wound stops bleeding. ③ Apply pressure for 10-15 minutes ④ Keep the injured limb elevated.

1. Carotid artery compression hemostasis

Used to stop bleeding from the head and neck arteries. The pressure point is in front of the ear, facing the lower collar joint, and use the thumb to press the carotid artery to stop the bleeding.

2. External maxillary artery compression hemostasis

Used to stop bleeding from the ribs and face, use the thumb or index finger to press the artery onto the lower jaw bone about half an inch in front of the lower jaw angle.

3. 3. Carotid artery compression hemostasis

It is often used when there is severe bleeding in the head and neck and other methods of stopping bleeding are ineffective. The method is to press the injured carotid artery backward onto the fifth cervical vertebra at the front edge of the deep sternocleidomastoid muscle on the outside of the trachea, but simultaneous compression on both sides is prohibited.

4.4. Subclavian artery compression hemostasis

Used to stop bleeding in the armpits, shoulders and upper limbs. Use your thumb to feel the pulse of the artery on the clavicle, place the other four fingers on the back of the patient's neck, and press the thumb downward and inward toward the first rib.

5. Brachial artery compression hemostasis

Used to stop bleeding in the hands, forearms and lower upper arms. The pressure point is located deeper on the inner side of the middle section of the upper arm; after feeling the pulsation of the adipose artery on the inner side of the middle section of the upper arm, press with your thumb to stop the bleeding.

6. Femoral artery compression hemostasis

Used to stop bleeding in severe lower limb bleeding. The pressure point is located slightly below and inside the midpoint of the inguinal ligament, and the strong pulsation of the femoral artery can be felt; use the thumb or the base of the palm to press outward and upward to stop the bleeding.

7. Compression hemostasis of radial and ulnar arteries

Used to stop bleeding from hands. The pressure points are on both sides of the palm surface of the wrist; press the radial and ulnar arteries at the same time to stop bleeding.
