This lesson covers nosebleeds. Nosebleeds can be both dramatic and quite messy, so it is necessary to wear PPE and eye protection in these situations. Instructions are provided for how to ensure safety at the scene and when it is necessary to contact 911.
"Nosebleeds can be quite dramatic and are often messy. When attending to nosebleeds, be sure to wear personal protective equipment and eye protection.
Individuals with nosebleeds often swallow a fair amount of blood, which can result in vomiting. Therefore, you should prepare for the worst.
After ensuring that the scene is safe and protective equipment is on, press both sides of the nostrils just below the bony portion of the nose for a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure that the individual does not tilt their head backward while holding during a nosebleed.
If bleeding continues, try holding pressure for an additional 10 minutes. If bleeding still continues, seek further medical care.
If the individual has trouble breathing, or if they show signs of severe distress, then call 911/EMS."
