When controlling severe external hemorrhage, your first step is to?
- Apply direct pressure with a sterile dressing
- Evaluate the extremity
- Apply a tourniquet proximal to the wound
- Check distal pulses
Explanation
When controlling severe external bleeding, the first and most important step is to apply direct pressure on the wound using a sterile dressing.
This helps immediately slow or stop the bleeding.
Other steps follow after direct pressure if bleeding continues:
-
Check distal pulses – to ensure blood flow is not compromised.
-
Apply a tourniquet – only if direct pressure fails and bleeding is life-threatening.
-
Evaluate the extremity – for injuries, but not before stopping major bleeding.
