Daily News | How to put on a tourniquet and stop someone from bleeding to death
It doesn’t take a health professional to save the life of someone bleeding heavily from a gunshot wound or other traumatic injury. Any bystander can undertake a series of crucial first steps until an expert reaches the scene.
Experts recommend an in-person training session before using one of the straplike devices, which must be wound so tightly around an arm or leg that it cuts off the flow of blood.
Above all, call 911. If two rescuers are on the scene, one can call for help while the other works to stop the bleeding.To tell when bleeding is severe enough to threaten the person’s life, look for these three signs: continuous bleeding, a large volume of blood, and pooling.Press directly on the wound with gauze or cloth.
