Controlling Blood Loss from an Arm Wound
Arteries of the forearm and hand can be stopped by pressing with the thumb at the elbow joint just to the inner side of the tendon of the biceps which you may feel like a cord when the arm is extended. If the bleeding is from the upper arm stretch the whole arm by raising it above the head. Feel in the armpit and you will locate a prominent ridge on the inner side press with your fingers just behind that ridge and you will shut off the blood supply from the whole arm. These are the more prominent vessels that lie near the skin.
