Internal Bleeding: If an accident has happened in which internal bleeding might be happening, it is important to contact a doctor as fast as you can. While you are waiting for an ambulance to come, keep the person who is hurt quiet and warm. Make sure that he is lying flat. It is very important that you do not give him anything to drink at all, not even water. When moving the person to the ambulance make sure you do so while keeping him lying flat.
External Bleeding: In a case with external bleeding, place pressure over the wound using some sort of medical bandage or cloth. Make sure it is sterile so the cut doesn’t get infected. Secure the bandage or cloth firmly over the cut to stop it bleeding, or if you have to, keep holding it there with pressure. If ever possible, elevate the wound. If no sterile bandages are there, use a thick pad of the cleanest cloth you have, if it is a serious injury, and you do not have anything on you, apply pressure using your bare hands if no better methods are at your disposal.
