Ep043 External Bleeding

Bleeding you can see is bleeding you can stop—but you have to act fast.

In today’s episode of the First Aid Show Daily Minute Podcast, we cover the first aid management of external bleeding, from minor cuts to life-threatening haemorrhages.

You’ll learn:
✅ How to apply effective direct pressure
✅ What to do if blood soaks through a dressing
✅ When to use additional pads or consider advanced interventions
✅ Why lying the person down and staying calm matters
✅ When to escalate to arterial tourniquets or haemostatic dressings

We’ll also remind you how to spot and treat shock, and why your hands (and gloves!) are your best tools in bleeding control.
