Saving Precious Blood
Blood is life. It is one of the most important things in the human body. Many people die each year because of loosing too much of this precious element; a usual caused is severe bleeding. Severe bleeding may occur in various parts of the body; it could happen anywhere on the torso or on the limbs.
If the wound is on the torso, stopping severe bleeding would require you to apply firm pressure on the wound by using your fingers until a clot is formed. After this, try to procure yourself a sterile bandage, if none is available, you may use any piece of clean cloth; place the bandage over the wound before pressing. If you find yourself dealing with a large and gaping wound, pinch the edges of he wound together until the bleeding subsides. Again, dress the wound with a sterile bandage or any clean cloth.
In any accident, mild or severe wounds may present themselves almost anywhere in the body. What if the severe wound is on the limb of the person? In this case, make the person lie down and raise his wounded limb as high as possible; this is an effective way to reduce or stop bleeding. When the bleeding is reduced or completely stopped, you may then put a dressing on the wound. Remember to bandage it tightly but not too tight.
After some time, if the bleeding resumes or does not stop, put another dressing on top of the first one and bandage it again.
Saving the blood of a person is tantamount to saving the person’s life.
