For pressure point bleeding control, you should put direct pressure on a pressure point, an area where blood vessels run close to the surface, usually at a point where a pulse can be found.

Common pressure points:

  • Arm between shoulder and elbow - brachial artery
  • Groin area along bikini line - femoral artery
  • Behind the knee - popliteal artery
