How to Treat Severe Bleeding - First Aid Training - St John Ambulance

In this video, a St John Ambulance trainer explains what to do if someone is bleeding severely. When bleeding is severe, it can be dramatic and distressing. If someone’s bleeding isn’t controlled quickly, they may develop shock and become unresponsive.

Don't have any medical background. Not planning on becoming a paramedic or something. I'm just watching these videos in case. If I can ever save someone's life someday by watching these, I'd have no regrets. Or if an opportunity doesn't come, even better. At least no one's life would be in danger.

Aside of the very clear and easy to follow explanations, I really appreciate how gentle his voice and the way he talks to the patient. He always asks before doing the procedure. I have experienced being treated by the emergency responders and I really appreciate their patience and gentleness to their patients.

Biggest issue I had when a someone cut themselves badly in a public place was other people panicking. A relative made big fuss and demanded that I do lots of different irrelevant and distracting things. Some advice on dealing with that would really help. Telling them to sit down and shut up is just going to make them angry.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos from us guys up here in Canada

Where I work only medically trained professionals can treat injury. It is always 999 but very helpful to know what can be done whilst waiting within the role remit.

[charali]

Thanks for all your videos. Very helpful for me as a primary health care nurse

The work you're doing here is marvelous. I'm quite new to this so pardon my question: Could there please be more clarification on when there's an object in the wound, because it seems most part of the video displayed applying direct pressure if there's no object?? Thank you very much. God bless you all!

[jaketaylor]

Excellent video but explaining why we do these things would instill a more comprehensive understanding.

[hirammuiruri]

can one apply direct pressure on both sides?thanks for the video its of great help to some of us who love everything to do with medicine

[danieliskander]

Thank you, you are a good teacher. Again, your videos are very neat and clear.

[tutatehaja]

[eliiasvega]

[atifariff]

I did first aid from Red Cross Kolkata, India. Just come here to refresh my knowledge.

[emelizabeth]

I’m here for review!! It’s really important to know!!

[archiewoosung]

Presumably don't attempt to apply a bandage if you've had to leave a foreign object in the wound; but does that mean you're going to have to keep applying pressure manually?

Hi, I am really interested in becoming a Paramedic, but the problem is that I don't have any science qualification.
I am currently studying A level course and resetting my English and Maths, but I can also do an adult learner course, like Scienve, but which one shall I do?
Please help me with it!
Thanks!

Thank you so much for the video! This is really life saving so I try to learn by watching your videos 😄 But I have a question. If there is an object in the wound, and it's dangerous to remove it, should the first-aider still dress the wound by covering both the injury and the object?
