There are 2 types of hemorrhage, which is bleeding from veins and bleeding from the arteries. Bleeding in veins rather dark color and flow spontaneously. While bleeding from arteries colors are brighter and the flow emanating from the body of the wounded.
Bleeding in the arteries can lead to a critical condition, because of blood being pumped out at speeds exceeding the average. As a result, the victim will be a lot of blood loss.
According to Stanley M. Zildo as quoted from his book 'First Aid, How to Properly Handling First Aid and Emergency', pressing directly on the injured area is one action that can be done to stop the bleeding, although causing pain in that section.
Way of emphasis can be given as follows:
1. Put a clean cloth or sterile thick like a handkerchief, towel or sheet of fabric pieces directly on the injured area. Then press gently with the palm of your hand. If no fabric, use a hand or finger to press.
2. Continue pressing with constant pressure.
3. Do not remove the fabric used to suppress the wound.
4. If the blood has met the fabric, not removable, but add a new cloth and put on it. Then continue again hold with your hands.
5. If the bleeding stops or is reduced, use bandages to cover cloth tied around the wound.
6. Not too tight bandage straps to avoid arterial blood flow stops.
7. Keep injuries at the position in the heart organ.
