Introduction
As Police Officers, you will be exposed to bleeding injuries resulting from accidents, combat and blast injuries
The victim of bleeding must be treated at a medical facility as soon as possible
A knowledge of first aid can often mean the difference between life and death

Introduction Blood is essential to life. Without enough
blood circulating you will quickly die.
Many people die as a result of bleeding and shock
These deaths ARE preventable with proper treatment
First Aid techniques can help either stop or reduce the flow of blood

Blood Each adult has about 6.6 liters of blood
Rapid loss of 2.2 liters of blood can cause death
Arteries carry blood AWAY from the heart
Veins return the blood TO the heart
Capillaries are smaller blood vessels that carry the blood directly to the body’s cells

Types of Bleeding
External: Blood coming from an open wound
Internal: Bruises Blood in vomit, in the stool, or in
urine

Inside of a Blood Vessel
Blood is made up of 90% liquid and 10% cells

Types of Bleeding Bleeding from the ARTERY (arterial)
Bright red blood, spurting from the wound
Blood loss is rapid and extensive
Arterial bleeding is the most difficult to control
Life-threatening and must be controlled
IMMEDIATELY!
![Page 15: 1 Bleeding Pakistan ICITAP. 2 Learning Objectives Identify different types of bleeding Identify different types of wounds Learn First Aid steps to control](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56649dac5503460f94a9ba49/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Arterial Bleeding
Injury to right side of carotid artery
Notice the size of the blood vessel

Types of Bleeding Bleeding from the VEIN (Venous)Bleeding from the VEIN (Venous)
Dark red blood, often so dark it appears to be maroon
Bleeds in a steady flow without the spurts, but it can still be severe
Venous bleeding is easier to control than arterial bleeding

Capillary Bleeding
Blood oozes from the bed of capillaries
The color of the blood is red, usually less bright than arterial bleeding
The blood flow is generally slow, as seen in minor cuts and scrapes to the skin

Types of Wounds
There are two classifications of wounds:
Open Closed
![Page 22: 1 Bleeding Pakistan ICITAP. 2 Learning Objectives Identify different types of bleeding Identify different types of wounds Learn First Aid steps to control](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052510/56649dac5503460f94a9ba49/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Open Wounds Gunshots – penetration of the skin by a bullet, that may have
both an entrance and exit wound. It may cause massive bleeding and internal damage.
Lacerations – a cutting of the skin. It has jagged edges and tends to bleed.
Incision – caused by a sharp objects. The wound has clean, even edges.
Puncture/Penetration – has little bleeding on the surface. It is nearly impossible to determine the extent of bleeding under the skin. This poses greater danger for infection.
Avulsion – This skin is torn loose and sometimes torn completely from the body

If a knife or other penetrating object is still present in the wound,
DO NOT attempt to remove it

Penetrating Wounds The act of removing the object will often
cause further damage and complications
Immobilize object to prevent further injury
Apply pressure around the object in an effort to stop the flow of blood
The removal of the object must be left to qualified medical staff

Closed (Internal) Wounds Bruises and Concussions are types of
closed wounds:
Bruise is the result of bleeding under
the skin Concussion is a type of bleeding or
bruising that occurs on the brain

Apply pressure to pressure point
If the bleeding does not stop after 5-10 minutes, you will need to apply pressure on an artery or pressure point between the wound and the heart
Pressure points should ALWAYS be used with caution!
Release pressure every 5 minutes for a few seconds
