How do you apply first aid to hemorrhages?
Severe bleeding is a life threatening condition, whereas minor bleeding is important to control but not life threatening. The simplest, most effective treatment to stop bleeding is to apply firm, direct pressure to the wound. Put non-stick gauze over the wound, and use your (gloved) hand to press down firmly but not too hard that you damage any internal complications. Most wounds will stop bleeding within a couple of minutes of applying direct pressure. If, however, the bleeding is not slowing or stopping, and the wound is on an extremity, it may be necessary to apply indirect pressure along with the direct pressure. Note 1: Indirect pressure is always applied simultaneously with direct pressure, never on its own. Note 2: If the wound requires indirect pressure, the patient will definitely require an ambulance. If the bleeding is very severe, the pressure of the rushing blood may hinder the body's ability to clot, and as such indirect pressure may be necessary. If the wound is on the hand or arm (distal to the bicep), you can use the brachial artery pressure point to cut off the blood supply to the limb. Your partner should be checking the patient's radial pulse, so they can tell you when you have successfully cut off the blood supply. Using your index and middle fingers together, push underneath the bicep from the medial side and slightly upward. You should feel the brachial pulse. Push the brachial artery against the humerus to cut off the blood supply, and ensure your partner can no longer feel a radial pulse. Release (slowly) the indirect pressure at least every 15 minutes. Keep released for 30 seconds before reapplying. If the wound is on the leg or foot, the same principle applies, except that your partner checks the piedal pulse, and you cut off the femoral artery by holding your fingers out straight, and pushing the blade of your hand down on to the proximal anterior part of the leg, adjacent to the groin. Push down with your other hand on top to increase pressure.

How to managed bleeding?
Unless your patient is on an operating table and you have special equipment, the main and best way to control bleeding is: DIRECT PRESSURE This means pressing on the area that's bleeding firmly enough to stop the blood flow until clotting and vasocontriction set in to help. Direct pressure can control almost any bleed. Bleeds that direct pressure can't control present a problem fort any method. To perform a direct pressure bleed control, take a large sponge (or whatever's handy if you're not a first responder -- a towel or blanket, etc.), and press against the part of the wound that's bleeding most freely. If you can, you may press about the point of bleeding to compress the vessels there. Don't worry if the cloth becomes saturated -- just leave it in place and cover it with another cloth, if you have one.. You can gently lift the cloth to inspect the wound, but don't remove the pressure bandage. It's better to press too hard than too lightly. For vascular bleeds (veins and arteries) you may bave to press with your fingertips. For other wounds, palms or hands work. As you're doing this, bear in mind that blood is a hazardous material. Ideally, you'll need gloves, a gown and a facemask. Do the best you can. If you don't have all that with you, improvise. Other methods that may be used on their own or in conjunction with direct pressure are: * Elevating the wound above the level of the heart -- if practical this works well.* Compressing Pressure points -- this means pressing on areas where blood vessels cross over hard processes like bones, in areas that lie between the bleeding wound and the heart. Note that, once touted as a standard method, most agencies do not use direct pressure much anymore unless direct pressure isnt' solving things. It deprives blood from other areas, and is just as hard (if not harder) to control than direct pressure.* Tourquinets. The ideal tourniquet is a flat, plaint band that can be tied between the wound and the heart, and tighted down by hand or with a windlass tie. This cmpresses all blood vessels above the wound and thus can stopt he flow of blood. Note that Tourniquets are extremely dangerous in that they can allow infected blood to pool and infect more, as well as lethally deprive tissues of much needed oxygen. The rule is, tie a tourniquet if the bleeding is so bad you're willing to sacrifice the limb. If you DO tourniquet, you shouldn't leave the patient alone, but you should not remove the tourniquet -- this will be done by the ER team. If you can't stay with the patient, you might mark their forehead with a cross or an "X" and the time you applied the tourniquet.* Other methods -- cauterization, suturing, etc. are outside the realm of First Aid.One last thought: I've Never had to tourniquet a wound. Direct Pressure can take care of almost anything. If you absolutely can't stop bleeding any other way, then follow ht cautions above -- but be sure.

What happens if blood pressure cuff gets too tight?
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction: the more firmly the cuff applies pressure to the arm, the stronger the blood will push against it as it moves through the vein, meaning a clearer reading. If the cuff is too loose and is not applying pressure, it won't be able to read pressure very well.
