Procedure to stop blood flow in an accident?

1. Stay calm and assess the situation. Determine the source of the bleeding and the severity of the injury.

2. Apply direct pressure to the wound using a clean cloth or bandage. If possible, elevate the injured area above the level of the heart to help reduce blood flow.

3. If the bleeding is severe and direct pressure is not stopping it, apply a tourniquet. Place the tourniquet 2-3 inches above the wound, between the wound and the heart. Tighten the tourniquet until the bleeding stops. Make a note of the time the tourniquet was applied.

4. Do not remove the tourniquet once it has been applied, as this can cause the bleeding to start again. Seek medical help immediately.

5. Monitor the injured person for signs of shock, such as pale skin, rapid heartbeat, or shallow breathing. Keep them warm and comfortable while waiting for medical help to arrive.

6. Provide reassurance and support to the injured person until help arrives. Stay with them and continue to monitor their condition.
