Bleeding Control: Venous Bleeding

www.ProFirstAid... Venous bleeding is more severe than capillary bleeding, but is not under pressure like arterial bleeding. It is characterized by oozing or running of dark colored blood. You should first apply direct pressure with a bandage for 1-2 minutes. Do not lift the bandage to check for clotting. Instead, lift your hand to see if blood is seeping through the bandage. You may have the patient hold the dressing in place while you use roller gauze, beginning at the distal end, to secure the bandage. If bleeding does not continue through the bandage, take the patient to a medical center for wound irrigation and possible stitches. Video created by ProTrainings.

Question: what happens if bleeding DOES continue? What if we've put pressure on the bandage, but then bleeding doesn't stop?

[@kgray6171]

use a tourniquet if bleeding does not stop

[@TDrillz]

As soon as I see that happen I would call the police

[@plasmadestroyero2771]

@@TDrillz ah yes, the police, not an ambulance

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

If bleeding isn't controlled by direct pressure, which is more of an issue with arterial bleeds than venous, that's when you activate EMS.

[@calebwhatley5299]

Last resort if it is especially on a arm or leg is to use a tourniquet. If all else fails cut off the blood flow. That was what we were taught in EMT school

What if the blood that comes out is green?

[@harrypoter3656]

Are you an alien ? Just kidding i've got no clue ...

[@Danny-jz9mj]

What about if it is spurting out blood semi dark but mainly blood red like the colour of the subscribe button? Is it a punctured vein, artery or what?

[@ollietung1278]

Danny DP im pretty sure its arterial bleeding

[@scraffs224]

put more bandage

[@rhondahoward8025]

I was wondering why my blood was so dark when a nurse fudged up taking a needle to my arm to take vials of blood. Some of it spurted out (didn't hurt!) and I remember it was the color of Coca-Cola. Very dark. Now I know why!

[@theyeetman9426]

Why doesn't he care

[@JordanZacarias33]

At least venous bleeding is easier to control and less severe than arterial bleeding.
