SECTION VIII
NOSE INJURIES
Severe nosebleed can be most frightening. It can
also lead to shock if enough blood is lost! Many
cases of nosebleed can be controlled simply by
having the victim sit down, pinch the nostrils shut
and lean forward (to prevent blood from running into
the throat).
Once the bleeding has been stopped, talking, walking
and blowing the nose may disturb blood clots and
allow the bleeding to resume. The victim should rest
quietly until it appears the bleeding remains
stopped.
If it is suspected that the victim has suffered
head, neck or back injuries DO NOT attempt to
control the blood flow as they may cause increased
pressure on injured tissue. All uncontrolled
nosebleeds require prompt medical attention!
