The severity of bleeding depends on the location, size and depth of the wound causing it. If the bleeding's severe, it can be dramatic and distressing.
First aid aims
Control bleeding
Minimise shock
Prevent infection
Prevent cross-infection between the casualty and yourself and, if necessary, arrange for casualty to go to hospital
Actions
Check whether there's an object embedded in the wound
If there's nothing embedded, press on wound with your hand, ideally over a clean pad, and secure with a bandage
Raise wound above level of casualty's heart
If blood seeps through the bandage, put another one on top
If blood comes through second bandage, remove both and apply a fresh one
If there's an object embedded in the wound, firmly push together the edges of the wound to try to stem blood loss
