Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of pressure points: Pressure points are specific areas on the body where arteries are close to the surface and can be compressed against a bone to control bleeding.

Identify the major arteries that can be used as pressure points: Common pressure points include the brachial artery in the arm, the femoral artery in the leg, and the carotid artery in the neck.

Determine the location of the wound: To effectively use a pressure point, you need to know the location of the wound and which artery is proximal to it.

Apply pressure to the appropriate artery: Once the correct artery is identified, apply firm pressure to the artery proximal to the wound to reduce blood flow and control bleeding.

Evaluate the effectiveness of the pressure: Continuously monitor the bleeding and adjust the pressure as necessary, ensuring that it is sufficient to control the bleeding without causing further injury.
