If possible elevate the wound above the level of the heart to reduce the blood flow
Apply(应用)steady, firm pressure(压,压力)directly to the wound using a sterile(消过毒的)cloth
Maintain this pressure until the bleeding stops, then wrap the wound tightly with gauze(纱布) bandage (绷带)and secure it with adhesive(带粘性的)tape
If the bleeding continues and seeps(渗出)through the bandage, add more absorbent(能吸收的) material
Do not remove the first bandage
If the bleeding doesn't stop, apply pressure to the major artery(动脉)that delivers blood to the area of the injury
When the bleeding has stopped, immobilize(固定)the injured part of the body
