For pressure point bleeding control, you should put direct pressure on a pressure point, an area where blood vessels run close to the surface, usually at a point where a pulse can be found.Common pressure points:Arm between shoulder and elbow - brachial arteryGroin area along bikini line - femoral arteryBehind the knee - popliteal artery

Pulse points are places on your body where your arteries are so close to the surface that you can feel your pulse. The easiest to find pulse points are the brachial (inside of the elbow), radial (wrist), and carotid (neck).
Start CPR; at some point you will need to control the bleeding (hopefully someone is with you to do this). If not, make a judgment call when to stop CPR & get the bleeding under control.
Your lungs control your breathing and your heart controls your pulse rate.

You have several pulse points in your body, you are probably aware of the carotid pulse in your neck and the radial pulse in your wrist. The feet also have pulse points. there are 2; the dorsalis pedis, essentially on the top of your foot as it turns into your leg, and the medial malleor, on the inside part of your ankle.
The pulse point that is located at the wrist is called the radial pulse. All together there are five pulse points in the human body.
Pulsatile bleeding is always more serious because the pulse means the bleeding is coming from an artery.
