Treating Blood Loss Victims
It is important to keep the following facts in mind when it comes to treating and distinguishing between different forms of bleeding:
- Severe bleeding and internal bleeding require immediate medical attention. If you or someone you know has suffered an injury and is bleeding profusely, it is important to call 911 immediately and try to lessen the blood loss through direct pressure. If you are assisting someone who is bleeding, it is important to always wash your hands first and use latex gloves when possible.
- Serious injuries do not always result in a lot of bleeding, just as minor injuries can cause a large amount of blood loss. For example, even minor scalp injuries can cause a lot of bleeding, but deep, severe cuts can sometimes result in little bleeding.
- People who have recently taken blood thinners or those with blood disorders will bleed easily and freely. Their blood cannot clot properly, making it difficult to lessen their blood loss. It is important to get medical attention if an accident victim’s blood loss does not lessen after a reasonable amount of time.
