Jill Volpie: If you have very severe bleeding, the best thing to do is simply to find some pad, something clean, and press as firmly as you can into the wound. That should be dry and if possible you can use a bandage to bandage that into place but not to use it as a tourniquet. And of course if the blood soaks through that, then you need to simply put something else, and keep putting other dressings on top until you can stop it and get assistance. One needs also to be mindful that there may be a fracture and at the same time you could make the fracture worse or create more damage because of the fracture. The best way to find out whether that is the case is to see if the patient can actually lift their arm or raise their leg slightly, perhaps if it's a leg put it up on a cushion or a chair or something like that, and just use common sense to see how, to what extent that limb can actually be moved.
