Best Answer

Children and the elderly have less blood and weakened circulatory systems. To stop severe blood loss and avoid shock, have the injured person lie down, immobilizing the bleeding body part and covering the person with a blanket to preserve body heat. Remove any loose debris, leaving anything large or deeply embedded, as removing that could cause bleeding to worsen. Apply direct pressure to the wound, squeezing the main artery if necessary, and do not remove until bleeding stops or medical professionals arrive.
