BLEEDING (1)






 WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN A PERSON IS BLEEDING?

  1.  Cry.
  2.  Run.
  3. Pick your phone to record.
  4.  Call for help.
  5.  Do nothing.
In times past we have heard or seen scenarios where people are in danger and there was no one ready to help, some go as far as recording without trying to get help for those injured. As funny as this might sound it is also annoying that a person's life depends on your actions. We all saw the video of a lady who after she was injured with a knife, bled to death as first aid was not administered. May her soul rest in peace.
  Say no more because change has come; NO GREE FOR ANYBODY, LEARN FIRST AID.

WHAT IS BLEEDING?

Bleeding is simply the flow of blood that happens due to an injury to the blood vessel. 
Blood vessels are means by which blood is transported through the body.
I understand that there might be some confusion, but permit me to break this down. 


The picture above is a picture of a broken or damaged water pipe with water. The blood vessels can be likened to the water pipe in the picture above, while the blood can be linked to the water in the picture. Bleeding occurs when the blood vessel is damaged or broken just as the water gushes out of the pipe, with some exceptions which will be discussed in the second part of this topic.

TYPES OF BLEEDING

The types of bleeding depend on the vessel that is damaged, these vessels are Veins, Arteries, and Capillaries.
  • ARTERIAL BLEEDING
  • CAPILLARY BLEEDING
  • VENOUS BLEEDING
1. CAPILLARY BLEEDING: Bleeding from capillaries occurs with any wound. Initially, bleeding may be profuse, but blood loss is usually slight. Blood from the capillaries are either bright red or dark red depending on the type of capillary.

2. ARTERIAL BLEEDING: Arteries carry oxygenated blood under pressure from the heart. When an artery is damaged, bleeding will be profuse as it sprues out with the heartbeat. The blood is bright red due to the oxygen it contains.
    

3. VENOUS BLEEDING: Veins carry deoxygenated blood under lower pressure than arterial blood. If a large or varicose vein is damaged, blood will gush from it profusely. Blood from the veins is darker red.

Thank you for this informative piece. I guess the type of bleeding in the video is either an arterial bleeding or a venous bleeding.

The blood looks dark but not darker because venous bleeding is darker red so I think the bleeding in this video is a capillary bleeding. Because capillary bleeding is dark or bright red while venous bleeding is darker red

HOW TO MANAGE/ TREAT BLEEDING.

 HOW TO MANAGE BLEEDING.  The first thing is to check for your safety. Protect yourself, are you safe? Will I be at risk if I help this person? Will I be harmed if I leave my car to help this person on the roadside? May a person not become a victim of kidnap because he wants to help another person. 😩😩  If you are safe, then you can proceed to help the casualty. Do manage bleeding quickly and without panic. Please, note that you must protect yourself from transmittable diseases and infections. Like HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, e.t.c Make use of gloves (Neat nylon if there are no gloves) Face mask but if there is none, you are still good to go. Source: Pixabay Prolonged and severe bleeding can lead to shock and unconsciousness. Bleeding can be dramatic and distressing. I was once there and I know what it feels like. I have seen people shout, slap, or punch those who are helping them because they are in pain and distress. Source: pixabay Yes, just be patient with them. Keep givi...

 It's a new month and a season of love.  Welcome to February!💕💕💕💕💕 What is the point of having a lover who can not administer first aid, my words still remain "NO CPR, NO MARRIAGE".  Yes, you read that correctly.

YOU DON'T WANT YOUR HEART BLEEDING LIKE IN THE IMAGE ABOVE.  PLEASE, LEARN FIRST AID! IT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE WON A GRAMMY AWARD. From our last post, the answer to the assessment is Venous Bleeding. CLASSIFICATION OF BLEEDING. Bleeding can be classified into two; 1. Internal Bleeding: This bleeding is often caused by trauma resulting from internal organ damage, medical illnesses, and bleeding into body cavities or tissue spaces. This type of bleeding cannot be easily controlled as it can not be easily noticed in some cases. the best first aid treatment you can administer is immediately taking the person to the hos...

Turning Pain into Purpose: My Journey from Accident to Advocacy.

One's life can change in an instant. For me, that moment came with an accident I witnessed the fragility of life and death, which taught me the priority of first aid firsthand.  An accident so severe that it left me not only with physical injury but also profoundly aware of the importance of first aid awareness. During my recovery, I was filled with the guilt that I was at an accident scene and I could not assist with first aid.                                                   I wasn't entirely at fault, I was also a casualty who was unconscious but responsive till we were moved to a different vehicle to convey us to the University Teaching Hospital (UITH), Ilorin. The accident was so fatal that we lost 3 people to the accident. I sustained multiple fractures. Watching short clips from the accident, I realized how crucial it was for everyone to be equipped ...
