Bleeding is the loss of blood from the circulatory system. It can occur inside the body (internal bleeding) or blood can be lost outside of the body (external bleeding). External bleeding is primarily managed by applying direct pressure on the wound or around a protruding object. Internal bleeding must be treated by a medical practitioner.
Remember to gain a person’s consent before providing treatment for bleeding emergencies and provide treatment within the limits of your training.
At all times, you must avoid direct contact with the blood, or any of the body fluids of the person, by wearing gloves and other PPE such as protective glasses.
