What to do save a person with cut wrist?

If you find someone with a cut wrist, it's important to act quickly to prevent further bleeding and infection. Here's what you should do:

1. Stop the bleeding:

- Apply pressure directly to the wound with a clean cloth or bandage to stop the bleeding.

- Elevate the injured arm or hand above the person's heart to help reduce blood flow to the wound.

2. Call for help:

- Dial emergency services (911 or your local emergency number) immediately. Explain the situation and provide the person's location.

- If you're alone, try to call for help while simultaneously providing first aid.

3. Keep the person calm:

- Try to keep the person calm and reassure them that help is on the way.

- Talking to them and keeping them focused can help reduce anxiety and pain.

4. Monitor breathing:

- Check the person's breathing and pulse regularly to ensure they remain stable. If breathing or pulse stops, start CPR.

5. Avoid removing objects:

- Do not attempt to remove any objects, like broken glass or knife, that may be lodged in the wound. This could cause further injury.

6. Protect from shock:

- If the person starts to feel faint or show signs of shock (such as pale skin, clammy skin, or loss of consciousness), lay them down with their feet elevated and cover them with a blanket to keep them warm.

7. Stay with the person:

- Stay with the person until medical help arrives. Keep talking to them, monitoring their breathing, and reassuring them that help is coming.

Remember that your primary goal should be to stop the bleeding and stabilize the person until professional medical help arrives. Do not attempt any medical procedures that you are not trained to perform.
