First Aid For Bleeding: What To Do...
Do you know how to stop the bleeding when there is no doctor?
It can take just five minutes for someone to bleed to death, and
in those precious moments you can take measures to help make
the bleeding stop. Every prepper should learn to stop the
bleeding and to have some basic tools in place to help.

You are your family's first responder and can significantly reduce
blood loss and stop even arterial bleeding. Preppers can save
lives! Below is all the first aid for bleeding that a prepper needs
to do...

How to stop the bleeding
How will you stop the bleeding when there is no doctor? The
answer is surprisingly simple. It starts with knowledge.

Download the STOP THE BLEED brochure now.

The general tips in the brochure and the tips below will teach you
how to get bleeding under control until you can get some kind of
medical help (or even stitch it up yourself)...

#1: Be aware of your surroundings before helping.
As a bystander and good Samaritan you can help others;
however, you should be aware of your surroundings, so you don't
also become injured. You may need to move or step aside if
there are physical threats, shooters or live wires, for example.

Think about your personal safety first:

Are there other active shooters or aggressive threats?
Is there an "all clear" message from authorities?
Is there broken glass or debris?
Is traffic a threat to your safety?
Is there a fire or threat of fire?
Is there any standing water and or downed power lines?
Are there any aggressive animals still lurking?

#2: Have someone else get help.
While you a tend to the victim, assign someone else to get
medical help if available. If there is no doctor, another person
still may be able to find a neighbor or someone else to help.

This person also can get a hemostatic agent, like Bleedstop, from
your first aid kit. BleedStop is a powder that is applied to a
wound to stop bleeding in seconds. It is FDA cleared for minor
cuts to severely bleeding wounds. This kit is advertised on TV
with Mike Lindell.

#3: Wash hands, wear gloves.
Any time you see a break in skin there is a chance of infection.
That's why it's really important to wear gloves or clean your
hands before helping someone. Wearing gloves is especially
important in protecting yourself from blood-borne pathogens.

Choose Nitrile gloves because they are are latex free, and you
don't need to worry about the gloves being an allergen. Now that
you know, you can put Nitrile gloves in your glove compartment,
purse, backpack, or gear bag. Put a pair in a zip locked bag
today. Be ready!

#4: Control the bleeding (apply pressure).
Applying pressure to the wound with your hands is the first step
in stopping the bleeding. You may need to lift clothing to find
where the bleeding is occurring. Then you must apply pressure
with both hands if possible.

Below are instructions for controlling arterial bleeding:

#5: Apply Dressing and press.
At this point you can instruct someone to help you and get
gauze or a clean cloth. Use a gauze dressing to apply a firm and
steady pressure. If no gauze or sterile cloth is available, use an
article of clothing. Below are the instructions from the STOP
THE BLEED campaign:

After bleeding has stopped...
Irrigate the wound to remove bacteria, dirt, the blood clotting
material and the damaged tissue.

Tools to Stop the Bleeding
Here are the supplies to stop bleeding:

#1: Nitrile Gloves.
If possible before treating wounds of any kind you should clean
your hands or put on Nitrile gloves. Any kind of open wound can
lead to infections and your hands are filled with germs that could
eventually cause sepsis.

The benefit of Nitrile gloves, over the ordinary gloves you will find
at the hardware store, are that they have a better fit so that you
can have a more tactile experience. This can help in an
examination. Nitrile is not the same as Latex, which is an
allergen.

#2: Gauze.
Sterile gauze is an important part of any first aid kit. You'll need
gauze to treat excessive bleeding. Becuase gauze is porous, it
allows air flow around the wound. Air can help to dry wounds and
encourage coagulation. (Coagulation is clotting ~ the process
when blood changes from liquid to a semi-solid state.)

#3: Hemostatic Agent.
Something every prepper's first aid should include Hemostatic
agents and dressings. Hemostatic agents control bleeding. Below
are some great options...

Bleedstop, from your first aid kit. BleedStop is a powder that
is applied to a wound to stop bleeding in seconds. It is FDA
cleared for minor cuts to severely bleeding wounds. This kit
is advertised on TV with Mike Lindell. It's an organic powder,
so you need not worry. It's also the same stuff trusted in
Emergency rooms. It doesn't burn, it doesn't sting and it's
safe for someone on blood thinners.

Curad Bloodstop. Curad Bloodstop, pictured right, is an
innovative dressing to control bleeding quickly. It's a
biodegradable natural fiber cellulose that turns into a gel to
seal a wound. This non-irritating, biocompatible gauze won't
sting or burn.This incredible product acts in less than a
minute and is much easier to use than powders or plugs.

Celox (Hemostatic agent): Pour Celox Hemostatic Agent

directly on a wound

and apply pressure. It won't sting or

burn. Bleeding

typically stops within 30 seconds. You can

rely on

elox to

stop bleeding when you need it most

heat. Celox works on all bleeding

wounds; from minor cuts

and grazes, to severe wounds.

When mixed with blood, Celox forms a robust gel plug in

proven to work in the presence of common anti-

coagulants

such

as warfarin.

and

extremely effective. When mixed with blood, Celox

Natural ways to stop bleeding:
Home remedies are an important part of prepping in that it
fosters self-reliance.

Cayenne. Do you know all the super powers of cayenne
pepper? C ay enne stop the bleeding and has a wealth of uses
for preppers.

Sugar. Bet you didn't know that sugar can help you heal?
Sugar isn't as bad as you may think.

Tea bag. A tea bag can stop bleeding, which is why it's
often included in dental medical kits. It's the tannins.

Yarrow.

Witch hazel. Witch hazel is a popular astringent and can
stop the bleeding in small nicks.

With active shootings on the rise, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
introduced the Stop the Bleed initiative in to help educate people on
how to stop bleeding. The government figured that witnesses to
active shooter events or other mass casualty events can help
stop life threatening bleeding.

You can stop bleeding, but one important thing is that you should
know how to use a tourniquet properly because using a tourniquet
incorrectly could result in loss of a limb. Take time now to learn
how to stop the bleed with the tips!

#6: Consider using a tourniquet.
If the bleeding doesn't stop, then consider using a tourniquet
as outlined above, but only if you know how to use a tourniquet
properly. You could wind up causing more damage in using a
tourniquet improperly.

Warning on tourniquet use: Misuse of a tourniquet could
result in loss of limb!

#7: Look for other injuries.
You may not have noticed previously another injury the victim
may have, so take a close look for other injuries that need your
attention. Also, be sure to evaluate the victim for shock.
Someone who is cool, pale, or sweaty could begin to show
shock. Check also breathing and circulation.

Here's how to help someone in shock:
