The first course of action should be to place pressure on the bleeding to slow or stop it. Make sure emergency medical services have been summoned and continue to provide pressure on the wound until they arrive. If you cannot apply pressure to a wound because of a foreign object (i.e. a piece of glass), apply pressure just above and just below the wound (but still cover the wound area with gauze).
