When treating bleeding wounds, first ensure your safety by wearing gloves if available. Apply direct pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or bandage to control bleeding; if blood soaks through, do not remove the original cloth but add more layers on top. Elevate the injured area above the heart if possible, and seek medical attention if the bleeding does not stop after 10 minutes or if the wound is deep or caused by a serious injury. Additionally, keep the wound clean and covered to prevent infection.
