In this guide, we'll provide a step-by-step process to effectively apply WoundClot on large wounds. Keep in mind, managing large area wounds is serious, and professional medical attention should always be sought promptly in cases of severe bleeding. Preparation Steps Start by wearing gloves to maintain hygiene and protect yourself from contamination. Next, open the WoundClot package and unfold the haemostatic gauze. Note, in real-world situations, all clothing around the wound should be cut away before application. Applying WoundClot on a Large Wound Apply the WoundClot directly over the wound. If the wound is extensive, multiple gauzes may be required. Ensure that the gauze covers the entire wound area and is in direct contact with the wound bed. Apply direct pressure over the WoundClot gauze for several minutes, facilitating faster clotting by encouraging clot formation. Advantages of WoundClot WoundClot promotes rapid blood coagulation and formation of a robust clot, effectively controlling bleeding, even in severe situations. Its unique ability to adhere to the wound site under challenging conditions ensures constant contact between the bleeding site and the gauze. Post-Application Care Keep a close eye on the wound after applying WoundClot to ensure bleeding control and the absence of complications. Unique to WoundClot, it can be dissolved using saline or water for a pain-free removal process by healthcare professionals. This stands in contrast to other haemostatic dressings that require surgical removal. Utilising Larger WoundClot Sizes In case of a large wound area, the 20x30 cm WoundClot is ideal. To open the package, tear at the small nicks in each corner. Once the WoundClot is removed, the gauze pad can be applied over the entire wound area. If the larger gauze size isn't available, multiple smaller pieces or strips cut from the 8x100 cm can be used instead. Flexibility of WoundClot The versatility of WoundClot allows for its easy tearing into the required sizes to avoid wastage and ensure effective coverage. This flexibility makes it a crucial component of your first-aid kit, enabling efficient management of various types of cuts and wounds. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10888/Woundclot_and_large_areas-01.jpg Yes 173 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/woundclot-and-knife-crime-injuries https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/6114.mp4 Woundclot and knife injuries WoundClot Trauma Gauze: The Essential Aid for Knife Injuries The versatility of WoundClot Trauma Gauze sets it apart from other haemostatic agents, making it an ideal inclusion in public access and personal bleed kits. Unlike other products, WoundClot can be used not only to pack wounds but also as a surface application. WoundClot and Knife Injuries In instances of knife crime injuries, the application of WoundClot is highly advantageous. It's crucial to note that, in such scenarios, one should never remove an embedded knife from the body, as it could potentially cause more damage. Instead, we focus on preventing further blood loss and stabilising the wound. Applying WoundClot to a Stab Wound As an example, if dealing with a knife wound, you can tear a piece of WoundClot and apply it on either side of the knife. For this demonstration, we're using a mannequin, but in real situations, you'd first remove any clothing covering the wound. Once the WoundClot is applied to the wound, it quickly reacts with the blood, forming a gel-like plug over the cut. This helps control bleeding and prevents further blood loss. Following WoundClot application, two conventional dressings can be rolled and placed on either side of the wound, bandaged in place for stability. It's vital to keep the patient as still as possible to avoid further injury. The applied WoundClot and the dressings can be held in place with gloved hands, maintaining pressure on the wound and keeping the knife in position. This method is not only effective in stopping bleeding but also aids in stabilising the wound. Treating Slash Wounds with WoundClot Often, knife crime injuries involve stab or slash wounds, where the weapon isn't left in the body. For these types of injuries, WoundClot's versatility comes to the fore. The common sizes of WoundClot included in bleed kits are 10x10 cm and 8x20 cm. These can be easily opened and unfolded for use. For large slash wounds, for example, on the arm, you can cover the entire wound with a torn piece of WoundClot. It can be cut to fit the exact shape of the wound, making it a highly adaptable product for various injury types. If you only have the 10x10 cm size, you can patch multiple pieces together to cover the wound. Alternatively, the Z-fold version (8x100 cm) can be used to cover multiple wounds. The Advantage of WoundClot One significant benefit of WoundClot is that it doesn't require direct pressure to work. This makes it a particularly effective addition to bleed kits, especially for untrained individuals or those who might be apprehensive about applying necessary pressure. WoundClot reacts with the blood to form a clot, even without direct pressure, making it one of the most effective products available for treating knife injuries. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10890/Woundclot_and_knife_crime_injuries-01.jpg Yes 274 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/knife-course-introduction https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4212.mp4 Course Introduction Welcome to ProTrainings' Knife Injury Awareness Course We are pleased to introduce you to ProTrainings' Knife Injury Awareness Course, designed to provide you with crucial first aid knowledge for dealing with knife injuries.

Applying the Tourniquet When applying a tourniquet, do so quickly and place it above the injury site – not directly over the wound or on a joint. Steps to Apply an Improvised Tourniquet Wrap the improvised tourniquet around the limb and tie a half knot. Place a strong object over the knot, such as a screwdriver, jackscrew handle, or sturdy stick. Tie another half knot over the object. Twist the object in circles to tighten the tourniquet. This will be painful for the patient, but it is necessary to stop the bleeding. Secure the object in place by tying off the loose ends around it. Do Not Remove the Tourniquet Once a tourniquet is in place, do not remove it, even if the bleeding has stopped. If the first tourniquet does not effectively slow or stop the bleeding, you can apply a second one. By following these steps, you can effectively use an improvised tourniquet to control severe bleeding until professional medical help arrives. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/7563/Improvised_Tourniquets-01.jpg Yes 116 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/recovery-position-knife https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4210.mp4 Recovery Position How to Place an Unconscious Patient in the Recovery Position When to Use the Recovery Position A patient who is unconscious but breathing should be placed in the recovery position when you need to care for them or leave temporarily and return. Special Considerations for Spinal Injury If you suspect a spinal injury, do not place the patient in the recovery position unless you have been specially trained in the spinal recovery position. Benefits of the Recovery Position The recovery position helps to prevent the patient from choking and keeps them in a comfortable position. Steps to Ensure Safety and Comfort Once the patient is in the recovery position: Check to ensure that the airway is open and that they are still breathing. Keep the patient warm. Reassure them that Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are on their way. By following these steps, you can ensure the safety and comfort of an unconscious but breathing patient until professional help arrives. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/7623/Recovery_Position-01.jpg Yes 83 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/haemostatic-dressings-knife https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4215.mp4 Haemostatic dressings Using Haemostatic Dressings for Serious Bleeds What Are Haemostatic Dressings? Haemostatic dressings are special dressings used to manage serious bleeds. They are widely used in the military and by paramedics, and can also be found in places where serious bleeds are more likely to occur, such as taxis and bars. How Do Haemostatic Dressings Work? Haemostatic dressings work by reacting with the blood upon application, effectively clogging the wound to help stop the bleeding. While you may not be expected to use these perfectly, having basic knowledge about their use could be lifesaving. Using Celox Celox is a haemostatic agent that typically comes in granule form. There are various methods for applying Celox, but it reacts with blood very quickly – usually within three minutes. Celox is an excellent substitute for tourniquets and does not harm the limb. Learn More About Haemostatic Agents If you would like to learn more about our courses that provide detailed instructions on the extensive use of haemostatic agents and dressings, please get in touch with us.

Apply Direct Pressure to the Wound If someone is bleeding, apply direct pressure to the wound site. Ideally, wear gloves as they provide a barrier against infection and help seal the wound. Pressure Around the Knife Even if the knife is still in place, apply pressure around the knife onto the wound. Direct pressure helps the blood to clot, thereby stopping the blood flow. Importance of Blood Clotting Keeping as much blood in the body as possible is crucial, as this increases the chances of survival and reduces the risk of long-term complications. Explaining the Process Applying firm, direct pressure on the wound may cause discomfort to the person, but explain that it is necessary to stop the bleeding. Self-Application of Pressure Depending on the size and location of the cut, the patient may be able to apply pressure themselves. However, keep a close watch on them as they may become tired or lose consciousness. Applying a Dressing Once the blood flow ceases, you can consider applying a dressing to the wound. Following these steps ensures that you effectively manage a knife wound and increase the chances of the injured person's survival until professional medical help arrives. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/7555/Direct_Pressure-01.jpg Yes 118 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/calling-ems-knife https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4207.mp4 Calling EMS Importance of Calling Emergency Medical Services (EMS) for Knife Injuries In this video, you will learn how to call for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) promptly and why it is crucial when someone suffers a knife injury. Immediate Action: Call EMS It is vital to call EMS as quickly as possible if someone is injured by a knife. Even if you are out of credit or have no service, you can still alert EMS as long as there is a signal from one network. Emergency Numbers Dial either 999 or 112. The number 112 can be used throughout Europe. Providing Essential Information When on the phone with emergency services, immediately convey: What has happened Where you are These are the two most crucial pieces of information to provide. Using Speakerphone If necessary, put your phone on speakerphone so you can administer first aid while speaking with EMS. Guidance from Emergency Operator The operator will stay on the call with you until the ambulance arrives. They will provide useful instructions to help you perform proper first aid. By following these steps, you can ensure that you receive the necessary help promptly and effectively assist the injured person until EMS arrives. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/7553/Calling_EMS-01.jpg Yes 87 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/using-gloves-safely https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4211.mp4 Using Gloves Safely How to Safely Handle a Knife Injury: Using Gloves Importance of Wearing Gloves If a knife injury occurs, there may be significant bleeding from the wound. Even if there is only a small amount of blood or bodily fluid, it is essential to wear gloves if you have them. This measure protects both you and the casualty. Alternative to Gloves If you do not have gloves, a plastic bag can be used as a substitute to cover your hands. Inspecting and Preparing Gloves After taking the gloves out of their box or packaging, inspect them for any damage. Remove any sharp jewellery that may cause the gloves to tear. Proper Method to Remove Gloves Remove the gloves one at a time, turning them inside out as you do so: Take off the first glove, turning it inside out, and scrunch it up in your other hand. Then, remove the second glove, ensuring one glove ends up inside the other. Hand Washing Post-Glove Use Thoroughly wash your hands after removing the gloves to prevent any possible contamination. Following these steps ensures your safety and helps prevent the spread of infection when dealing with a knife injury. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/7565/Using_Gloves_Safely-01.jpg Yes 95 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/trauma-dressings-knife https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4249.mp4 Trauma Dressings How to Use Trauma Dressings Effectively What Are Trauma Dressings? Trauma dressings are typically found in larger first aid kits. They are significantly larger and more absorbent compared to regular dressings. Benefits of Trauma Dressings Due to their size and absorbency, trauma dressings are highly effective at absorbing a large amount of blood when applied with adequate pressure. Application of Trauma Dressings When using a trauma dressing, bear in mind that the victim may be losing a substantial amount of blood. Follow these steps for effective application: Wrap the dressing tightly around the wound. Tie off any excess dressing to secure it in place. Monitoring and Additional Dressings Keep an eye on the dressing for any blood soaking through. If this occurs, remove the dressing and apply a new one over the wound. By following these steps, you can effectively manage severe bleeding and provide crucial first aid with trauma dressings. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/7633/Trauma_Dressings-01.jpg Yes 79 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/scene-safety-knife https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4247.mp4 Scene Safety Steps to Take When Arriving at the Scene of a Knife Injury Ensure Your Safety First When you arrive at the scene of a knife injury, your first priority is to ensure that you are not in any danger. This may involve running away temporarily and returning when it is safe. The last thing you want is to become another victim. Call for Help and Stay Vigilant Shout for help and maintain constant vigilance. Attracting as much attention as possible can help scare away the attacker and attract additional assistance.

Guidelines for Responding to an Attack The National Police Chiefs Council has produced guidelines to follow if you find yourself in a firearm or weapon attack. The three key steps for staying safe during an attack are: Run, Hide, and Tell. 1. Run If there is a safe route, run. Insist others go with you, but do not let them slow you down. Leave your belongings behind. 2. Hide If you cannot run, hide. Find cover from gunfire, lock the door, and barricade yourself in. Move away from the door, be very quiet, and silence your phone. 3. Tell When safe, dial 999. Give your location and the direction the attacker is moving in, and provide as much information as possible. If possible, prevent others from entering the area. Considerations for Different Situations All situations are different, and people's ability to run, hide, and tell will vary due to factors such as age, fitness, or capacity. When running is not an option, individuals should make every effort to move away from the area as quickly as possible. The Run, Hide, Tell guidance emphasises the importance of assisting those around you who may need help during such scenarios. Workplace Responsibilities Companies have a duty of care to make provisions for evacuating disabled employees during an attack. Employers should have a plan in place to facilitate this process. Conclusion Being conscious of your surroundings and having a plan can help you stay safe during a rare firearms or weapon attack in the UK. Following the Run, Hide, Tell guidelines may save your life and the lives of others. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/9749/Run-Hide-Tell.jpg Yes 125 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/course-summary- https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4803.mp4 Course Summary Completing Your Course and Taking the Test with ProTrainings Congratulations on completing your course!

The degree and impact of the bleeding can depend on several factors, including the location and depth of the wound. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you or someone else has been injured in such an incident. Here, we explore the risks and necessary responses associated with knife crime injuries. The Severity of Knife Wound Bleeding Knife wounds can lead to substantial bleeding that can swiftly become life-threatening. The bleeding may be slow and steady or rapid and profuse, with the wound possibly appearing jagged and irregular. Symptoms such as swelling, bruising, or tenderness might accompany the injury. Potential Complications from Knife Wounds Depending on the severity of the injury, knife wounds can cause complications ranging from shock to organ failure and even death. The risk of infection is high, especially with deep wounds that penetrate the skin. Infections can cause sepsis, a potentially fatal condition. Damage to nerves and blood vessels may lead to numbness, weakness, and other complications. Psychological Trauma from Knife Crime Victims of knife crime often suffer from psychological trauma, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It's important to seek medical attention for these mental health issues, as well as the physical injuries. Emergency Response to Knife Crime Injuries When a knife crime injury occurs, the immediate priority is to stop the bleeding. This might involve applying direct pressure to the wound with dressings, using a hemostatic dressing, or applying a tourniquet if the wound is on a limb. The wound then needs to be cleaned and dressed. In some instances, surgery may be required to repair the damage. Post-Injury Support and Recovery In addition to the immediate medical treatment, it's essential to seek support for any psychological trauma that may arise from the incident. This includes both patients and first-aiders. Counselling or therapy may be required to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder, helping those affected to navigate their path towards recovery. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10920/Bleeding_Caused_By_Knife_Crime-01.jpg Yes 134 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/uk-knife-crime-statistics https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/6134.mp4 UK Knife Crime Statistics Decade-Long Surge in Knife Crime Incidents and Deaths in the UK In the past ten years, the UK has witnessed a substantial rise in incidents and fatalities connected to knife crime. The increase has been so pronounced that it's become a topic of national concern, especially in the context of young people and urban areas. This article explores the statistical insights on knife crime and discusses the initiatives taken by the UK government and community organisations to address this issue. Rising Knife Crime among Young People The most recent data indicates a particular vulnerability of young individuals aged 15 to 24 to knife crime. Alarmingly, males made up a significant 74% of all knife crime incidents in 2020, highlighting the gendered nature of these crimes. Urban Areas: Hotspots for Knife Crime Major urban centres, such as London, report the highest incidence of knife crime. Over the last decade, knife-related offences and deaths have shown a steady upward trend, particularly in such densely populated areas. Increase in Knife-Related Homicides In 2020, knife or sharp instrument-related deaths in England and Wales reached 256, rising from 187 in 2010. This marks a shocking 37% increase in knife-related homicides over the past decade. Growth in Knife Crime Incidents The number of knife crime incidents has also escalated over the past decade. In 2020, England and Wales recorded 45,000 knife crime offences, a sharp rise from 25,000 in 2010. This signifies an 80% surge in knife crime incidents over the decade. Such offences encompass the possession of a knife, threats involving a knife, and using a knife in the commission of a crime. UK Government's Approach to Curb Knife Crime Recognising the gravity of the situation, the UK government has implemented several measures to mitigate knife crime. These include stricter sentencing for individuals found with knives, enhanced police presence in high-risk areas, and interventions targeting a reduction in knife crime among the young population. Community-Led Initiatives Against Knife Crime Beyond government efforts, numerous community-led initiatives are tackling knife crime. These encompass youth programmes, educational drives, and support for victims and their families affected by knife crime. Such collective efforts are crucial to address the worrying trend in knife crime incidents and fatalities. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10924/UK_Knife_Crime_Statistics-01.jpg Yes 111 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/packing-a-wound-with-woundclot https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/6173.mp4 Packing a wound with Woundclot Applying WoundClot Z-Fold Gauze to Large Injuries The WoundClot Z-Fold gauze is a versatile, effective solution for larger wounds that require packing. It combines the unique clotting functions of WoundClot with the simplicity of use often associated with Z-fold gauzes. Advantages of WoundClot Z-Fold Gauze The WoundClot Z-Fold gauze outperforms its counterparts in terms of versatility and adaptability. You can tear it into smaller pieces, making it suitable for treating multiple injuries or various parts of the body. It is a powerful asset in large-scale emergencies. Unlike conventional Z-fold gauzes, which often solidify and require surgical removal, WoundClot creates a gel-like plug over the wound. This plug not only stops bleeding and promotes healing but can also be easily removed. Given that it's made of natural cellulose, it won't cause complications after use. How to Use WoundClot Z-Fold Gauze Using the WoundClot Z-Fold gauze is quite straightforward. Simply open the package, tear open the product, and you will find the folded gauze. It is easy to handle and apply. To pack a wound, you push it into the wound and tear off any excess, which can be used for injuries elsewhere on the body. The larger Z-fold gauze is an ideal addition to any first aid kit due to its capacity to handle a range of wound sizes. Although it may be more costly, it is cost-effective to have a variety of sizes in your kit. Demonstration of WoundClot Z-Fold Gauze in Action To demonstrate the effectiveness of WoundClot, consider a mock knife wound on a training gauze. Applying water, mimicking blood, to the WoundClot results in a quick transformation into a gel-like plug. This tacky clot extends right up to the cut, offering close contact with the wound and forming a barrier. This level of treatment would be impossible with conventional haemostats on the market. Conclusion WoundClot Z-Fold Gauze's unique clotting abilities, versatile design, and easy-to-use packaging make it an invaluable tool for managing large wounds and various injuries, enhancing the efficiency of any first aid kit. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10998/packing_a_wound-01.jpg Yes 197 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/rapidstop-tourniquet https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/4798.mp4 RapidStop Tourniquet Discover the RapidStop® Tourniquet: Innovation in Emergency Care Explore the features of the RapidStop® Tourniquet, a groundbreaking tool designed for swift, efficient, and user-friendly application in emergency situations.

Understanding Tourniquets Tourniquets are critical tools for stopping severe bleeding in arms and legs, where direct pressure and hemostatic dressings are insufficient. Their correct application is vital in cases of catastrophic bleeds, such as amputations and gunshot wounds. The Critical Nature of Catastrophic Bleeding A loss of 40% of blood volume can be fatal, with rapid action required to prevent death from severe bleeds, especially in high-risk areas like the femoral artery. Integrating "C" for Catastrophic Bleeding into Emergency Response Incorporate catastrophic bleeding control into the initial steps of emergency care, prioritizing it before CPR to ensure effective treatment of life-threatening conditions. Application Principles Location: Apply on limbs only, avoiding joints, with the tourniquet placed directly on the skin or over clothing if necessary. Technique: Ensure the tourniquet is tightened enough to occlude arterial blood flow, not just venous. Self-Application: Tourniquets can be applied one-handed, a technique often used in military contexts. Do's and Don'ts of Tourniquet Use Do: Apply the tourniquet at least 5cm (2 inches) above the knee or elbow joint to avoid joint damage. Don't: Remove a tourniquet once applied. Only medical professionals in a hospital setting should do this. Conclusion Proper use of tourniquets can save lives by controlling severe bleeding. Training and preparedness are key to ensuring you can effectively respond when every second counts. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/4281/Tourniquets_and_Where_to_Use_Them-01.jpg Yes 278 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/using-s-l-i-d-e https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/5763.mp4 Using S.L.I.D.E SLIDE Pneumonic: Efficient Communication with EMS during a Terrorist Incident When involved in a terrorist incident, it's crucial to provide the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) with clear, concise, and comprehensive information. The SLIDE pneumonic from citizenAID helps you deliver the necessary information quickly, especially if you're still in danger or hiding from a threat. Calling for Assistance First, dial 999 and follow the operator's instructions. Be prepared to answer their questions and keep the line open for them to gather the information they need. Understanding the SLIDE Pneumonic The SLIDE pneumonic consists of five components: 1. Situation (S) Describe the type of incident, the location of the attackers, their numbers, and their appearance. 2. Location (L) Specify the exact location of the incident, the direction of the attackers, and your hiding place. 3. Injured Numbers (I) Inform EMS of the number of injured people, including those who are walking, not walking, and children. Mention any visible casualties. 4. Danger (D) Detail the weapons being used, any ongoing gunfire, other weapons causing the incident, and any explosions you've heard. 5. Emergency Services (E) State if you have any help with you. The operator will inform you about all available services. Accessing the SLIDE Pneumonic The SLIDE pneumonic is available on the citizenAID app, which can be downloaded from the App Store. It is also featured in the citizenAID pocket guide, available for purchase from the ProTrainings store and on first-aid-online.co.uk. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10283/Using_S.L.I.D.E.jpg Yes 110 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/how-a-999-calls-is-handled-at-a-call-centre---severe-bleed-scenario https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/6982.mp4 How a 999 call is handled at a call centre - Severe bleed scenario 🚑 Simulated Emergency Call – Severe Bleed In this training module, we review a simulated emergency call filmed at a real ambulance control centre. The scenario involves a severe bleed incident and highlights how call operators handle critical medical emergencies. Due to confidentiality rules, we cannot show you the operator's screen, but you will hear the full conversation as the operator guides the caller through a life-threatening situation. 📋 Key Points Covered in the Call Confirming if the patient is breathing and awake Obtaining exact location details (address, town, postcode) Establishing the number of casualties and basic demographics Checking for the presence of an attacker or ongoing danger Identifying whether the patient is suffering from serious bleeding Issuing life-saving first aid instructions over the phone 🩸 Bleeding Control Instructions The call handler provided detailed advice on how to stop the bleeding. This included: Using a clean, dry cloth or towel to cover the wound Applying firm, steady pressure and not lifting the cloth to check the wound Monitoring the patient and reporting any changes Not removing any object (e.g. knife) still lodged in the wound Keeping the patient still and avoiding food or drink The operator stayed on the line until the ambulance crew arrived and offered continuous reassurance and instruction throughout. This simulation demonstrates how basic triage and first aid support can begin immediately, even before trained responders arrive on scene. Always remember: your calmness, accuracy, and ability to follow instructions during an emergency call can save lives. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/12554/How_EMS_calls_are_handled_at_a_999_call_centre_-_severe_bleed-01.jpg Yes 277 https://www.first-aid-for-knife-attack.co.uk/training/video/bleeding-and-haemostatic-dressings https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/videos/course_videos/en/5977.mp4 Bleeding and haemostatic dressings Understanding Haemostatic Dressings: Effective Tool for Haemorrhage Control Research in combat casualty care has demonstrated that haemostatic dressings are notably more efficient than ordinary gauze for controlling haemorrhage. But what are haemostatic dressings, and how do they work? What Are Haemostatic Dressings? Haemostatic dressings are special products designed to react with blood to help cease bleeding. They come in different types, each with its specific usage, price, and complexity. It's important to note that several community and public access bleed kits contain a haemostatic dressing, although the brand may vary. Using Haemostatic Dressings Correctly Due to the diversity in brands and types of haemostatic dressings, it's crucial to read the instructions if you're not familiar with the particular brand. Some dressings cannot be simply placed on the skin; they need to be packed into the wound, which may not be possible with certain injuries, like a knife cut. However, the primary action to control bleeding is to apply direct and intense pressure, which effectively slows the bleed. Getting the Most Out of Haemostatic Dressings When these dressings are available, it's essential to know their correct usage and to act promptly. Pack the wound with the haemostatic dressing and maintain pressure. Some haemostatic dressings, like WoundClot, are more versatile. They can not only be packed into a wound but also placed onto it. WoundClot forms a gel-like plug that aids the body's natural healing process, thereby repairing the damage. This dressing is easy to use and doesn't have the same limitations as other haemostatic dressings. https://d3imrogdy81qei.cloudfront.net/video_images/10630/Bleeding_and_haemostatic_dressings-01.jpg Yes 83
