What should you do if the combination of the extremity elevation and direct pressure do not control the bleeding?
It's really quite rare that you can't control even extreme bleeding with properly applied direct pressure. That said, pressure point control can be added if you have the extra hands, or -- in the most extreme cases -- you can apply a tourniquet. Note that tourniquets are quite dangerous and often risk the limb, as well as increase chances for systemic infection if left on a while.
What is direct pressure and elevation?
Direct pressure is the first and most effective method to control bleeding. In many cases, bleeding can be controlled by applying pressure directly (Fig. 3-1) to the wound. Place a sterile dressing or clean cloth on the wound, tie a knot or adhere tape directly over the wound, only tight enough to control bleeding. If bleeding is not controlled, apply another dressing over the first or apply direct pressure with your hand or fingers over the wound. Direct pressure can be applied by the casualty or a bystander. Under no circumstances is a dressing removed once it has been applied.Raising (elevation) of an injured arm or leg (extremity) above the level of the heart will help control bleeding.
