What are first aids for nosebleed?

Answer 1

Pinch the nose carefully between your Thumb and Forefinger, below the cartilage to stop help quinch the bleeding.

DO NOT TILT THEIR HEAD BACK

It will potentially cause aspiration of blood and may cause vomiting. The best thing to do is lean forward and pinch the nose

Answer 2

For basic, simple, no-problem nose bleeds at home, try this: * Sit upright, with head higher than the heart, head slightly tilted forward, so you don't swallow the blood. * pinch your nose -- hopefully, this simple direct pressure method will allow time for clotting. Give it 10 full minutes. * Coldpack the nose and area around the trauma. * After the bleeding stops. don't pick your nose for a few hours -- let it heal. * If the bleeding reoccurs, try blowing your nose to clear out debris, then using a nasal decongestant containing oxymetazoline. * If bleeding continues for more than 20 minutes, call your doctor. * If you're taking Coumadin/Warfarin or Plavix, note that these blood thinners increase clotting time. Shamelessly borrowed from the Mayo Clinic recommendations for nosebleed Note: Don't try to straighten a broken nose in the field. It won't help the situation and you won't be equipped to handle any complications it causes. If you don't have access to a doctor or an ER, then packing the nose may be an idea. You can do this with tampon, which work amazingly well for this purpose. Simply press up into the nostril, and secure with adhesive tape. For extreme bleeds you can't control, with no chance of help, Eastman mentions that you can insert a ballon-secured Foley catheter into the nasal canal and, once past the narrowing, inflate the ballon and tug slightly on it, to shut down bleeding. Coldpacking is always good. These are methods of last resort, to be used only when no medical help can be reached and you're concerned about a major bleed you can't otherwise stop. Avoid these methods if you can.

Answer 3

The steps below can apply if you are treating yourself for a nosebleed or helping someone else who has a nosebleed:

1. Stay Calm (very important; panicking may cause your heart to beat faster, and this means more blood will be lost sooner).
2. Pinch the bridge (top part) of the nose firmly.
3. Keep your head forward (never hold your head back during a nosebleed).
4. Breathe normally through your mouth if possible (try to avoid breathing with your nose).
5. Wait for nosebleed to stop (between 5-10mins). NB. If nosebleed occurs for longer than 10 mins, call for ambulance.
6. Clean face and hands (and surfaces that have blood stains, eg. bathroom sink or floor).

Answer 4

Pinch the nose and have the victim lean forward so the blood in the nasal cavity can drain through the nose instead of into the victim's stomach. If the bleeding does not seem to be stopping, call for an ambulance.

Answer 5

Get roll of toilet paper

rip off one square

Wrap it in a ball like object(not to tight)

Then start to make it the width of your index finger

Then with a twisting motion slowly slide it up your nose it should feel snug not to tight

Wait 10 to 15 minuets then take it out to see if it's still going if so get a new piece of tp

If you feel like your nostril that's bleeding has alot of mucus in it blow it out this will help the rip or cut dry up faster

Do not put your head back and let the blood go down your throat you can get diarrhea or a sore throat by doing that

To prevent this stop picking your nose it needs mucus to stay lubricated if it has none it drys up and cracks then you have another bloody nose

Hope this helped

Answer 6

For a nosebleed, pinch the bridge of the bleeding nose right below the bone.

Lean forward and wait 10 minutes.

Bleeding should stop.

Do not lean head back when bleeding from the nose. The blood can go in to the respiratory tract and that would not be helpful (choking on one's own blood).

Answer 7

Tilt your head back, or let it bleed. To avoid, don't knock your nose on so many things!

Answer 8

Hold the nose and put an ice pack.
