Simple bandage - send to the hospital quickly! ! !
Heavy bleeding caused by trauma will seriously threaten people's health and even life if the bleeding is not stopped and bandaged in time.
Traumatic bleeding can be divided into three types according to the type of blood vessels: arterial bleeding, venous bleeding and capillary bleeding.
Divided according to the bleeding site:
1. External bleeding: Bleeding caused by injury to the surface of the body, and blood flows out from the wound.
2. Internal bleeding: Internal bleeding caused by damage to organs and tissues in the body. The blood flows into the body cavity and is invisible on the outside. Such as liver rupture, hemothorax caused by chest injury, etc.
3. Subcutaneous bleeding: The skin is not broken, only bleeding occurs in the subcutaneous soft tissue, such as bruises, ecchymoses, etc.
Clinical manifestations of traumatic bleeding:
1. Arterial bleeding: Due to the high pressure in the arteries, the bleeding will be gushing and pulsating, especially when large arteries rupture. The blood is spray-like and bright red in color, often causing massive blood loss in a short period of time and easily causing life-threatening consequences.
2. Venous bleeding: Bleeding slowly and continuously flows out and is purple-red. For example, bleeding from large veins is often affected by respiratory movements. The outflow is slower when inhaling and faster when exhaling.
3. Capillary bleeding: When bleeding, the blood flows out like water drops, and most of them can automatically coagulate to stop bleeding.
First aid methods for traumatic bleeding
1. Acupressure hemostasis method. Find the beating blood vessel above the wound, that is, near the heart, and press it tightly with your fingers. This is an emergency temporary hemostasis method. In the meantime, materials should be prepared to use other hemostatic methods. To use this method, the rescuer must be familiar with the pressure points of bleeding blood vessels in various parts.
2. Facial bleeding: Use your thumb to compress the facial artery between the mandibular angle and the mental tubercle.
3. Bleeding from the front of the head: compression of the temporal artery above the mandibular joint in front of the ear.
4. Bleeding from the back of the head: press the postauricular artery slightly outside the protrusion behind the ear.
5. Bleeding in armpits and shoulders: In the supraclavicular concavity, the outer edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle moves downward, medially and rearward, aligning with the first rib, compressing the subclavian artery.
6. Forearm bleeding: Apply pressure to the medial groove of the biceps brachii of the upper arm to press the brachial artery against the humerus.
7. Bleeding in the palms and backs of hands: In the wrist joint, where we usually press the pulse, press until the beating radial artery blood pressure stops.
8. Finger bleeding: Use the fingers of the healthy side to pinch the roots of the fingers of the injured hand to stop the bleeding.
9. Thigh bleeding: Flex your thigh to relax the muscles, use your thumb to press the pressure point of the femoral artery (the midpoint of the groin at the root of the thigh), and press back hard to increase the pressure. The thumb of the other hand can overlap the pressure.
10. Foot bleeding: Press firmly with your fingers on the underside of the ankle joint and where the dorsum of the foot beats.
11. Pressure bandaging to stop bleeding: Use sterilized gauze or cotton to make a soft pad and place it on the wound, and then bandage it with force to increase the pressure to stop bleeding. This method is widely used and has good results.
