Stopping Bleeding is a Priority in Any Injury

Abstract

Bleeding is caused by an injury to a blood vessel. External bleeding is visible because the blood flows out on the surface of the body. Internal bleeding occurs inside the body so it can remain unrecognized for a long time. The intensity of the bleeding depends on the size of the injured blood vessel. In case of injury to a larger vessel, the blood will flow out in a stream, so the patient can bleed out very quickly. That is why stopping bleeding is a priority first aid procedure for any injury.
