Pressure point. Then if the bleeding still isn't controlled, tourniquet. But check with your local protocols (if you're working in EMS)

Add pressure to the appropriate pressure point. As a last resort, you'd apply a tourniquet, but be prepared to lose that limb.

If these two actions do not control the bleeding and it is located on and extremity the use something called a tourniquet to stop all blood flow to the extremity. Please look up the proper way to use a tourniquet because if used improperly, a person could loose a limb.

Make a tourniquet. But, if you're working for an ambulance company, check their protocols bc some companies have done away with tourniquets.
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.
