Management of the bleeding, basics of the bandaging

What will we learn in this unit?

  • management of the bleeding (massive external bleeding, minor bleeding, internal bleeding)
  • basics of the bandaging and wound dressing
  • management of a patient in shock in the first aid

Take home message:

  • Always pay attention to your own safety and use protective equipment (gloves).
  • Stopping of the massive external bleeding has priority over CPR.
  • When controlling the massive external bleeding, the first choice method is maintaining direct pressure on the wound.
