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.
