How to practise with the kit and how to act in massive bleeding
Place the trainer on a flat surface and fix it using the suction base. Four compressed training gauzes are used to practise wound packing, and the kit includes an artificial blood bag with tube and stopper for practising with active bleeding.
In a real incident, first make sure you are safe and call for help on 999 or 112. In massive bleeding, apply direct pressure, and when bleeding from a limb is life-threatening, use a tourniquet. A bystander taking action can decide whether the casualty survives. You will find more in the article Massive haemorrhage – first aid.
