catastrophic bleeds
2. Learn and practice basic, hands on, first aid skills for stab wounds using improvised items
that you would have with you. Simple, basic, practical skills to apply to serious and catastrophic
bleeds to increase people’s chances of survival until professional medical assistance is available.
3.What to do if the knife is still in and what to do if the knife has been pulled out (knife, glass
bottle, bladed implement, sharpened screwdriver…..)
4.Your safety – how to assess and manage dangers at the scene of the incident.
-Protecting ourselves from the risk of other people’s blood.
-Identifying when it’s safe to help – spotting dangerous and aggressive behaviour.
