Control of Life-Threatening Bleeding: Packing a Wound

If the bleeding is life-threatening and is located on a body part that is not the arm or leg — like the head, neck, chest, or abdomen, — you should pack a wound and then apply pressure. Packing can also be done if they tourniquet does not stop the bleeding in the arms and legs.

Packing the wound means taking a material like gauze or clean cloth and placing it tightly into the wound. Continue to apply direct pressure until the bleeding stops. You would then apply pressure and a compression dressing.
