Pressure and Packing
Captions available
The idea
Pressure and packing control bleeding by compression, often as a first step or when bleeding is widespread.
In practice
Excessive bleeding may be managed with packing or a pressure dressing; laparotomy pads may be held or packed into a cavity.
Where people slip
Every pad used for packing is counted, and any left in place is documented.
