\u201cKeep the red stuff on the inside.\u201d That\u2019s the idea behind the Stop the Bleed presentation at RiseUP\u2019s\u00a0First Aid 2.0 teen workshop<\/a>. Our presenter was John Cousino, a longtime paramedic, Boy Scout troop leader, and associate professor of nursing at Chattanooga State Community College, where he coordinates the respiratory care program.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Safety first.
\u2022 Before you try to aid any victim, make sure the\u00a0scene is safe<\/strong>. That means look for threats to you and the victim, such as broken glass, the victim\u2019s attacker, or whatever hurt the person.
\u2022 Always remember, everyone\u2019s first responsibility is themselves.\u00a0You can\u2019t help someone if you get hurt, so if the scene becomes unsafe,\u00a0leave<\/strong>\u00a0and find a safe spot to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Use the acronym ABC.
\u2022 A<\/strong>lert medical professionals \u2013 Call 9-1-1 (or ask someone else to call).
\u2022 B<\/strong>leeding \u2013 Find any bleeding injuries.
\u2022 C<\/strong>ompress \u2013 Stop the bleeding by applying pressure.
– Bleeding is life-threatening if there is a lot of blood around\u2014on the person, their clothes, the ground, etc.\u00a0Chest and abdominal bleeding cannot be stopped outside of a hospital.
– Bleeding from arms and legs (extremities) should not be fatal, if this kind of care is given. Best solution is a tourniquet.
– 3 ways to compress a wound to stop bleeding:
Pressure<\/strong> \u2013 Cover the wound with a cloth, then use your hands to press on it\u2014HARD\u2014toward the bone.
Tourniquet<\/strong> \u2013 Place above wound, not on joints. Needs to be VERY tight. Two can be used. Never take off a tourniquet. Makeshift tourniquets are NOT as effective. Correctly done, this WILL hurt.
Fill the Wound with Gauze<\/strong> \u2013 Use anything you have: first aid kit, clean shirt, etc.
– Press on it directly with the palms of your hands.
– Once the bleeding is controlled,\u00a0don\u2019t stop<\/strong>\u00a0doing what you\u2019re doing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. It\u2019s important to remember that the measures you take to stop the bleeding are temporary. Follow-up medical care will be necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
