3. If the injury is particularly deep, pack the wound.
You can use cloth or gauze to control the bleeding.
4. If the injury is on a limb, correctly apply a tourniquet to the injured limb to stop bleeding.
If a trauma kit is available, pull a tourniquet tight around the person’s arm or leg above the wound. Be aware that this doesn’t mean that a person is going to need an amputation. If a tourniquet is on for under two hours, the limb will probably be fine.
5. Keep the victim calm until help arrives.
Keep the victim and yourself calm and know that you’re not hurting the patient, you’re saving their life. Pressing on a wound or pulling a tourniquet tight will be painful for the person with the wound, but their discomfort doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
