A nose bleed can require careful treatment and can be quite serious.
There are quite a few reasons for a nosebleed and it should never taken lightly even something that looks like a “mild” bleed. Knowing the reason is always a help.
A severe bleed can cause a type of shock so there is now a second problem. If the bleed was caused by a blow to the head, again there could be secondary problems.
Putting the casualty in the right position quickly, applying the right treatment early with the right amount of compressions in the right way, for the right time is the key.
The correct after-care and the awareness of more treatment being required has to be considered.
Some bleeds cannot be treated or stopped by the use of first aid and can require treatment at a hospital.
