Dealing with Severe Bleeding

Today Paula from St Johns visited us and taught us how to deal with severe bleeding and a refresher for DRSABC. It was a dynamic and exciting session!

 Exercise to check blood flow.

 Applying pressure directly. Need to use a pressure pad or CLEAN undies!

 Apply bandage from the wrist with more pressure on the dressing. Make sure both ends are sealed.

 Keep the wound elevated- higher than heart.

Don't grimace too much...
