Arterial<\/strong>
With this type of bleeding, the blood is typically bright red to yellowish in colour, due to the high degree of oxygenation. A wound to a major artery could result in blood \u2018spurting\u2019 in time with the heartbeat, several meters and the blood volume will rapidly reduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Venous<\/strong>
This blood is flowing from a damaged vein. As a result, it is blackish in colour (due to the lack of oxygen it transports) and flows in a steady manner. Caution is still indicated: while the blood loss may not be arterial, it can still be quite substantial, and can occur with surprising speed without intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capillary<\/strong>
Bleeding from capillaries occurs in all wounds. Although the flow may appear fast at first, blood loss is usually slight and is easily controlled. Bleeding from a capillary could be described as a \u2018trickle\u2019 of blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key first aid treatment for all of these types of bleeding is direct pressure over the wound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourniquet should only be use as the last result, Loss of life due to bleeding outweighs loss of limb due to complications withtourniquet use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
