Bleeding

Here are a few ways to control bleeding:

  • Cover the wound with a dressing and apply direct pressure.

  • If you do not suspect broken bones, elevate the injured area above the level of the heart.

  • Cover snugly with a bandage.

  • If bleeding does not stop, call 911 and apply more direct pressure.
