Methods for stopping nosebleeds
Once nosebleeds occur in summer, reasonable hemostatic methods should be used. The scientific hemostatic methods provided by doctors include:
1. Lower your head and lift your upper limbs
When nosebleeds occur, ask the bleeding person to lower their head (not raise their head) and raise their upper limbs to increase the amount of return heart blood from the superior vena cava, thereby reducing nasal blood supply to achieve hemostasis.
2. Fill the nasal cavity
Fill the nasal cavity with clean degreased cotton or sterile gauze to stop bleeding. If there is no degreased cotton, you can also use your fingers to press the nasal wings towards the facial bone for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, start gently and easily. If there is still bleeding, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.
3. Neck tapping
If there is significant bleeding, cold water can be used to pat the neck. And avoid blowing your nose or engaging in vigorous exercise for half an hour after the blood stops to prevent recurrent bleeding.
