If you're planning a walk or bike in the woods, you need to plan for small accidents. Inevitably, someone will fall and cut the skin of the knee, elbow or head. The cuts can be treated initially in the area, but if it is serious, you should seek immediate treatment of a doctor. But what you do until the ambulance arrives? What follows is a technique in the clinical field dressing that you use until you can get help.
If a fall on the ground orPatch is the first item on the agenda, to control bleeding. If the bleeding is pulsatile, or streaming, in other words gushing from the wound, the wound is deep and the control of blood loss is even more important. A little bleeding is not necessarily a bad thing, and expresses the bacteria and debris that can cause an infection. Try, branches sand, stones and boulders, where you can then apply direct pressure. Doing it with a pressure bandage, as shown. ThisTechnique works on small cuts and large cuts. You can also use this with a patch and a few rolls of gauze. Pressure alone does not always work to stop the bleeding. What you see blacks as brothers are the small caps platelets that form a small clot to stop the bleeding. Platelets have a tuft Sun stopped, and may have the shape of the clot. Otherwise it will simply be wound down and the phasing out of the ground. If and when the dressing is soaked with blood, still a little short dress'on top of the original help take blood. Resist the temptation to change the dressing, or even drag the association to look back and see if bleeding has stopped, because it simply pulls out the clot, defeating the purpose, and will certainly bleed forever! The wounds on the scalp can be treated the same way.
