bleeding control
Halting blood loss
Bleeding control refers to techniques and interventions used to stop or slow blood loss from a wound, particularly in emergency or trauma situations.
The term encompasses both basic first aid measures like applying direct pressure and more advanced methods such as tourniquets and hemostatic agents.
The paramedics performed bleeding control at the scene before transport.
In recent years, bleeding control training has become more widely available to the public as part of emergency preparedness initiatives.
