Did You Know?
Wounds
A wound is a break in the surface of the skin which may or may not bleed. Bleeding happens when the injury extends to the capillary arteries, causing blood loss (amount depending on the size of the wound). If the wound is small and shallow, the first aider’s goal is to prevent infection. With deep wounds that bleed profusely, the goal of the first aider is to control bleeding and minimize shock that can occur from it. Be aware that severe bruising after a traumatic accident can signify internal bleeding, especially on the abdomen.
