Instructions

Practice dressing 'wounds' and bandaging.
How to Treat Bleeding.
1. Apply direct pressure to the bleeding wound
• Apply firm pressure over the wound. Use a sterile or clean bulky pad and apply it firmly with hand pressure. Apply a bandage to keep the dressing in place.
2. Raise the injured area
3. If a foreign body is embedded in the wound
• DO NOT remove it but apply padding on either side of the object and build it up to avoid pressure on the foreign body.
• Hold the padding firmly in place with a roller bandage or folded triangular bandage applied in a criss-cross method to avoid pressure on the object.
