How can I stop bleeding quickly?

We all know that if the human body loses too much blood, its life will be in danger. However, we will always encounter some accidents in life, which we cannot predict or avoid. If the body is injured, we can master some quick ways to stop bleeding and achieve good self-help, but we must master the methods and ways. The methods for stopping bleeding in different parts are also different. Let's learn how to stop bleeding quickly.

How can I stop the bleeding quickly?

A. General hemostasis method: for bleeding from small wounds. The affected area needs to be rinsed and disinfected with saline, then covered with multiple layers of sterile gauze and tied tightly with a bandage. Note: If there is a lot of hair on the affected area, it should be cut or shaved during treatment.

B. Finger pressure hemostasis method: only applicable to first aid of arterial bleeding in the head, face, neck and limbs. Be careful not to use pressure for too long.

▲Bleeding on the top of the head: In front of the ear on the injured side, press the superficial temporal artery with your thumb 1.5 cm above and in front of the mandibular tragus.

▲Bleeding in the head and neck: Place four fingers together and aim them at the inner side of the middle section of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in the neck, and press the common carotid artery towards the cervical spine. Be careful not to compress the common carotid arteries on both sides at the same time to avoid cerebral ischemia and necrosis. The pressure time should not be too long to avoid danger.

▲Bleeding in the upper arm: Raise the affected limb with one hand, and use the four fingers of the other hand to press the brachial artery on the inner side of the middle part of the upper arm.

▲Bleeding from the palm: Raise the affected limb and use the thumbs of both hands to press the ulnar and radial arteries at the wrist respectively.

▲Bleeding from the thigh: Slightly below the groin, use the thumbs of both hands to press the femoral artery backwards.

▲Foot bleeding: Use the thumbs of both hands to compress the dorsalis pedis artery and the posterior carotid artery between the medial malleolus and Achilles tendon respectively.

C. Flexion and padding method for hemostasis: When the forearm or calf is bleeding, you can put gauze pads, cotton balls, towels, clothes and other items in the elbow and knee pits, flex the joints, and use a triangular bandage to fix them in an 8-shape. However, it cannot be used by those with fractures or joint dislocations.

D. Rubber tourniquet to stop bleeding: The commonly used tourniquet is a rubber tube about three feet long. The method is: with your palm facing up, hold one end of the tourniquet with your thumb and index finger, tighten it with one hand, wrap it around the limb twice, clamp the end of the tourniquet with your middle and index fingers, pull it down along the limb with force, and press down the "remaining head" to prevent it from slipping. Be careful to use a pad when using a tourniquet and do not apply it directly to the skin. Loosen the tourniquet for 2-3 minutes every 45 minutes, and slowly replace it with acupressure when loosening it.

E. Tightening hemostasis method: fold the triangular bandage into a belt shape, tie a slipknot, take a small stick and pass it through the outside of the belt to tighten it, and insert the tightened small stick into the small circle of the slipknot to fix it.

F. Packing hemostasis method: Stuff and press the sterilized gauze, cotton pad, and first aid kit into the wound, and wrap it with a bandage or triangular bandage, with the tightness appropriate to achieve hemostasis.

The above is an introduction to how to stop bleeding quickly. After understanding it, I hope many friends can master more of this common sense in case of emergency. In addition, once excessive bleeding occurs in the body, go to the hospital for treatment in time. In addition, we must also pay attention to some danger awareness in our daily lives.
