Welcome to First Aid Course Nosebleed

First aid response for nosebleed:

Place person in a seated position
Ask the person to breathe from the mouth and to pinch the soft part of the nose for up to 10 minutes. If the bleeding has not stopped, then the person can repeat the pinching of the nose for 10 minutes. This procedure may be done for a total of thirty minutes
Advise him/her to rest quietly for a few hours and try not to swallow, cough, spit or sniff, because it may restart the nose bleed.
If the nose bleed is due to an injury (head or nose injury) arrange for medical attention
