Stopping the hemorrhage is done by tightly tying the arm by applying a tourniquet, above the wound. A note must be attached on which the name of the victim and the exact time of application of the tourniquet are written. Although in the past loosening the tourniquet every 15 minutes was recommended to allow blood supply to the limb, the practice is no longer recommended at present, because it can worsen the victim's condition. Consult specialized personnel by calling 112 before performing this maneuver.

The tourniquet is an elastic cord used to stop bleedings that cannot be controlled by other means, it is usually applied in the case of limb wounds. In the absence of an actual tourniquet, improvised materials can be used, such as a scarf, cord, belt, tie, string or elastic. These must be tied tightly above the wound and applied over a piece of bandage or other soft material, to protect the skin and prevent additional injuries.
