Why do you elevate a wound above your heart?

This is not always the case - common sense needs to tell you what position the victim should be in based on where the wound is. Most of the time it is wounds to limbs that this is used for. A severed artery or major vein can bleed out quickly and with little or no blood left in the body you want as much as possible in the heart to pump to the brain and core. It is more important to stop the bleeding either by applying pressure directly to the wound or a pressure point between the heart and the wound. An example is the large artery under the arm (right in the armpit) than can stop even a severed hand from bleeding out by applying pressure under the arm. I have seen a tennis ball placed under the armpit and the arm pushed up against the body to stop a severed lower arm from bleeding out.
