Abstract:
The practice of pre-hospital care, whether you are a professional rescuer, a nurse, a doctor or a simple citizen, sometimes exposes you to the management of a patient who presents an acute hemorrhage. The prognosis is quickly life-threatening if the safety, assessment, life-saving gestures and activation of the rescue chain are not carried out. A basic, inexpensive first aid kit can further reduce morbidity and mortality. Training first responders in life-saving techniques is a public health issue.
