What should you do if the combination of extremity elevation and direction do not control the bleeding?
Application of pressure points well depending on the extrimity or use a tourniquet.
What should you do if the combination of extremity and direct pressure do not control the bleeding?
Pressure point. Then if the bleeding still isn't controlled, tourniquet. But check with your local protocols (if you're working in EMS)
What should you do if the combination of extremity elevation and direct pressure do not control the bleebing?
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.

If you are trained and have materials available, that's criteria for a tourniquet.
What should you do if the combination of extremity elevation and direct the pressure do not control the bleeding?
Add pressure to the appropriate pressure point. As a last resort, you'd apply a tourniquet, but be prepared to lose that limb.
What should you do if extremity elevation and direct pressure do not control the bleeding?
If you are trained and have materials available, that's criteria for a tourniquet.
What is the intent of the application of a tourniquet in reducing or stopping blood flow when it is applied correctly to a bleeding extremity?
In the field, this is a dangerous, last ditch effort to control bleeding in an extremity by mechanically compressing blood vessels leading to and from said extremity. The underlying intent is to save the patient's life, perhaps at the expense of the limb.
What should you do if the combination of extremity elevation and direct pressure dont control the bleeding?
Make a tourniquet. But, if you're working for an ambulance company, check their protocols bc some companies have done away with tourniquets.
