If you see a person who is bleeding heavily, you can do the following:
#Press hard onto the wound to stop the bleeding. 
# If an arm or leg is cut, elevate the limb. 
# Cover with a clean pad and apply a bandage. 
# Check that the bleeding has stopped. If it has not, add another pad, and bandage, '''do not''' remove previous bandage. 
# If you have bandaged a limb, check frequently that the fingers and toes remain warm. If fingers and toes are getting cold, loosen the bandage to let the blood circulate. 
# For severe bleeding (5 cups of blood or more), get the person to a hospital for stitches (and possibly immunization against Tetanus) keeping the limb raised.
