28. What is the most effective way to stop an arterial bleed when there is no object still in the wound?

○ Tie a tourniquet at least 5 inches above the laceration in order to ensure control of bleeding.

○ Raise the limb above the heart and walk the victim to the car. 

○ Use pressure points above and below the injury.

○ Apply direct pressure on the laceration with a gloved hand or clean/sterile dressing.
