The cut is deep and long you have both hands firmly applying pressure to the but are not able control bleeding?
If you have a deep and long cut that is not controlled by direct pressure, follow these steps:
1. Call emergency medical services immediately. This is the most important step, as severe bleeding can be life-threatening.
2. While waiting for help to arrive, continue to apply pressure to the wound. Use a clean cloth or bandage, and press down firmly with both hands. If the bleeding is severe, you may need to use a tourniquet.
3. Elevate the injured limb. This will help to reduce blood flow to the wound, and may help to slow down the bleeding.
4. Stay calm and reassur. This will help to keep your heart rate and blood pressure down, which can contribute to bleeding.
Here are some additional tips for controlling bleeding from a deep and long cut:
* If the cut is on the arm or leg, you can try to create a pressure point by pressing on the artery that supplies blood to the limb.
* If the cut is on the neck or head, you can try to apply pressure to the carotid artery, which is located on the side of the neck.
* If the bleeding is severe, you may need to use a tourniquet. A tourniquet is a last-resort measure, and should only be used if the bleeding cannot be controlled by other means.
* Once the bleeding is controlled, you should seek medical attention immediately. The wound will need to be cleaned and closed, and you may need antibiotics to prevent infection.
