Bleeding and Shock ¤ Lesson Objective: Identify the types of bleeding and their treatments
3
OVERVIEW ¤ Anatomy and Physiology ¤ External Bleeding ¤ Internal Bleeding ¤ Anatomy and Physiology ¤ External Bleeding ¤ Internal Bleeding
4
Anatomy and Physiology ¤ Container ¥Heart ¥Arteries ¥Arterioles ¥Capillaries ¥Venules ¥Veins ¤ Container ¥Heart ¥Arteries ¥Arterioles ¥Capillaries ¥Venules ¥Veins
5
Anatomy and Physiology ¤ Contents ¥Blood ¥Six liters ¤ Contents ¥Blood ¥Six liters
6
Anatomy Review ¤ Perfusion ¥Circulation of blood through an organ structure ¥Delivers oxygen and nutrients and removes waste products ¤ Perfusion ¥Circulation of blood through an organ structure ¥Delivers oxygen and nutrients and removes waste products
8
Problems occur when Inadequate circulation of blood through an organ Inadequate circulation of blood through an organ
9
HypoperfusionHypoperfusion Organs susceptible ¤ Heart ¤ Brain and spinal cord ¤ Kidneys Inadequate perfusion results in shock Organs susceptible ¤ Heart ¤ Brain and spinal cord ¤ Kidneys Inadequate perfusion results in shock
10
External Bleeding Significant blood loss ¥1 liter - adult ¥1/2 liter - child ¥100 to 200 ml - infant Result may be HYPOVOLEMIC shock Significant blood loss ¥1 liter - adult ¥1/2 liter - child ¥100 to 200 ml - infant Result may be HYPOVOLEMIC shock
11
Types of Bleeding Arterial ¤ Bright red and spurts ¤ Difficult to controlArterial ¤ Bright red and spurts ¤ Difficult to control
12
Types of Bleeding Venous ¤ Darker and flows steady ¤ More easily managedCapillary ¤ Dark red and oozes ¤ Often clots spontaneouslyVenous ¤ Darker and flows steady ¤ More easily managedCapillary ¤ Dark red and oozes ¤ Often clots spontaneously
13
Controlling External Bleeding ¤ Airway / Breathing ¤ Bleeding Control ¤ Airway / Breathing ¤ Bleeding Control
14
Bleeding Control Direct local pressure Most effective Direct local pressure Most effective
15
Bleeding Control Direct local pressure ¤ Pressure dressings ¤ Additional dressings Direct local pressure ¤ Pressure dressings ¤ Additional dressings
16
Bleeding Control Elevation ¤ Use with direct pressure ¤ As little as 6 inchesSplints ¤ Reduces motion of bone ¤ Control of bleedingElevation ¤ Use with direct pressure ¤ As little as 6 inchesSplints ¤ Reduces motion of bone ¤ Control of bleeding
17
Bleeding Control ¤ Proximal Arterial Pressure ¥Rarely stops bleeding completely ¥Pulse points ¤ Proximal Arterial Pressure ¥Rarely stops bleeding completely ¥Pulse points
18
Tourniquet ¤ Last resort – when a limb is unsalvageable ¤ Can cause permanent damage ¤ Procedures ¥Bandage 4 inches wide and 6 to 8 layers deep ¥Wrap around extremity twice at a point proximal to bleeding but as distal on the extremity as possible ¤ Last resort – when a limb is unsalvageable ¤ Can cause permanent damage ¤ Procedures ¥Bandage 4 inches wide and 6 to 8 layers deep ¥Wrap around extremity twice at a point proximal to bleeding but as distal on the extremity as possible
19
TourniquetTourniquet ¤ Tie a knot and insert stick ¤ Twist until bleeding stops ¤ Secure stick or rod in position ¤ Write TK and time applied on forehead ¤ Document use of tourniquet and time applied ¤ May use BP cuff ¤ Tie a knot and insert stick ¤ Twist until bleeding stops ¤ Secure stick or rod in position ¤ Write TK and time applied on forehead ¤ Document use of tourniquet and time applied ¤ May use BP cuff
20
Precautions with the use of a Tourniquet
21
PrecautionsPrecautions ¤ Use a wide bandage and secure tightly ¤ Never use wire, rope, or belt ¤ Do not remove or loosen once applied ¤ Leave in open view ¤ Do not apply over joint ¤ Use a wide bandage and secure tightly ¤ Never use wire, rope, or belt ¤ Do not remove or loosen once applied ¤ Leave in open view ¤ Do not apply over joint

Special Areas - nose, ears, or mouth ¤ Potential Causes ¥Injured skull ¥Facial trauma ¥Digital trauma ¤ Potential Causes ¥Injured skull ¥Facial trauma ¥Digital trauma
23
Special Areas - nose, ears, or mouth ¤ Potential Causes (cont.) ¥Sinusitis, or other URI infections ¥Hypertension ¥Coagulation disorders ¤ Potential Causes (cont.) ¥Sinusitis, or other URI infections ¥Hypertension ¥Coagulation disorders
24
Treatment Skull FX ¤ Do not stop blood flow ¤ Loose, dry sterile dressing ¤ Wrap dressing loosely around head ¤ Do not stop blood flow ¤ Loose, dry sterile dressing ¤ Wrap dressing loosely around head
25
Treatment for epistaxis (nose bleed)
26
¤ Place in sitting position, leaning forward ¤ Apply direct pressure by pinching nostrils together, or ¤ Gauze between upper lip and gum ¤ Ice over nose ¤ Keep patient calm and quiet ¤ Place in sitting position, leaning forward ¤ Apply direct pressure by pinching nostrils together, or ¤ Gauze between upper lip and gum ¤ Ice over nose ¤ Keep patient calm and quiet
