What are the signs of principal arterial bleeding and how does first aid for principal arterial bleeding begin?
Dark blood flows slowly out of the wound. A compression bandage is placed on the wound on which there is a note on the time of holding it on the wound.
Bright red blood flows from the wound, spouting strongly with intermittent flush or like a fountain. The injured artery should be squeezed with the fingers, then above the wound, as far as possible near the wound, a bleeding cord is placed, on which there is a note about the time for keeping it on.✓Bonne réponse
Blood flows slowly from the wound. A bleeding cord is placed below the injury, with a note of time for keeping it on.
Explication
The English option texts diverge from the source editions: the accepted source response describes bright spurting arterial blood, finger compression, and a haemostatic tourniquet above the wound, not a bleeding cord. Separately, current first-aid guidance begins with strong direct pressure and packing and reserves a tourniquet for life-threatening extremity bleeding.
