MEDICAL EMERGENCY: My brother was doing the dishes and he dropped a really sharp kitchen knife on his foot and it came off. He is bleeding out and we cannot go to the hospital. We called for an ambulance but by the time they get there he will have already bleed out. What is the best way to stop the bleeding?

Btw this is NOT a question for education purposes, this is ACTUALLY happening. Please answer fast!!!

Apply pressure to the wound or try applying something cold to slow down the bleeding. if the blood soaks through the cloth add more cloth. Hope the best

OK, I took a First Aid and CPR class so I can help. First of all STAY CALM! That is very important! Tell the injured person to remain calm as well. Call 911 as you're doing this and waiting for them to come. Now follow the following steps

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Remove any clothing or debris on the wound. Don't remove large or deeply embedded objects. Don't probe the wound or attempt to clean it yet. Your first job is to stop the bleeding. Wear disposable protective gloves if available.

2. Stop the bleeding. Place a sterile bandage or clean cloth on the wound. Press the bandage firmly with your palm to control bleeding. Apply constant pressure until the bleeding stops. Maintain pressure by binding the wound with a thick bandage or a piece of clean cloth. Don't put direct pressure on an eye injury or embedded object.  Secure the bandage with adhesive tape or continue to maintain pressure with your hands. If possible, raise an injured limb above the level of the heart.

3. Help the injured person lie down. If possible, place the person on a rug or blanket to prevent loss of body heat. Calmly reassure the injured person.

4. Don't remove the gauze or bandage. If the bleeding seeps through the gauze or other cloth on the wound, add another bandage on top of it. And keep pressing firmly on the area.

5. Tourniquets: A tourniquet is effective in controlling life-threatening bleeding from a limb. Apply a tourniquet if you're trained in how to do so. When emergency help arrives, explain how long the tourniquet has been in place.

Immobilize the injured body part as much as possible. Leave the bandages in place and get the injured person to an emergency room as soon as possible.

Look up a video on how to make a makeshift tourqinet and good luck
