loss of blood and not enough is being supplied
to the brain. The symptoms are high pulse rate; cold, clammy, pale skin;
trembling or unconsciousness. Try to keep the patient warm with blankets
or coats. If a tremendous amount of blood has been lost, the victim may
need a transfusion. Routine bleeding can be stopped by firm direct
pressure over the source of bleeding for 5 to 10 minutes. If an artery
has been cut and bleeding is severe, a tourniquet will be needed. Use a
belt, scarf or torn shirtsleeve. Tie the tourniquet around the arm or
leg directly above the bleeding area and tighten it until the bleeding
stops. Do not loosen the tourniquet. Wrap the injured limb in a cold wet
towel or ice if available and move the person to a doctor or hospital
before irreparable damage can occur. Don't panic, though, you have about
six hours. A painful blow to a limb is best treated with an ice pack and
elevation of the extremity by resting it on a pillow or rolled-up
jacket. A severe blow to the chest or side can result in a rib fracture
which produces sharp pains when breathing and/or coughing up blood.
Chest X-rays will eventually be needed. Other internal injuries can
occur from sharp body blows such as kidney injuries. They are usually
accompanied by nausea, vomiting, shock and persistent abdominal pain. If
you feel a bad internal injury has occurred, get prompt professional
help. Head injuries have to be attended to with more attention than
other parts of the body. Treat them by stopping the bleeding with direct
pressure. They should be treated before other injuries as they more
quickly can cause shock. Every head injury should be X-rayed and the
injured person shoul
