Stopping the hemorrhage is done by tightly tying the arm by applying a tourniquet, above the wound. A note must be attached indicating the victim's name and the exact time of applying the tourniquet. Although in the past loosening the tourniquet every 15 minutes was recommended to allow blood supply to the limb, this practice is no longer recommended today, as 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 bleeding that cannot be controlled by other means, and 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.
