"You know, throughout the course of every day life, all of us will sustain minor injuries. Hi, I'm Captain Joe Bruni, and what I'm going to talk about is how to stop mild bleeding. Mild bleeding is usually the occurrence of some type of minor injury. Mild bleeding can be controlled, normally, by first cleaning the blood away with some type of sterile or clean dressing until we can expose the injured area. After the mild bleeding is cleaned away, a small amount of pressure can be applied to the bleeding area for a short period of time until the blood clots and the bleeding stops. Once the bleeding stops, wash the area with soap and water to cleanse the area, and apply some type of antiseptic or disinfecting solution that is topical to the skin area to reduce the chances of infection. If the wound is minor in nature, something as simple as your every day band-aid could be applied to the area to stop and keep the bleeding from occurring again and keep the area clean and dry until healing occurs. Minor injuries are a common fact of life, but with proper techniques and cleaning, bandaging can take place after this so healing will ensue. I'm Captain Joe Bruni. Stay safe and see you next time."
