Most small cuts do not present any danger. Larger wounds, particularly those where an artery has been damaged, can cause severe bleeding and result in falling blood pressure and shock. Depending on the type of wound and its location, there can be damage to tendons and nerves. Bleeding from large cuts may require immediate medical treatment.
What to Do:
For Minor Bleeding From a Small Cut or Abrasion:
Rinse the wound thoroughly with water to clean out dirt and debris.
Wash the wound with a mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Avoid antiseptic solutions, which don't provide any additional protection.
Cover the wound with a sterile adhesive bandage or sterile gauze and adhesive tape.
Examine the wound daily. If the bandage gets wet, remove it and apply a new one. After the wound forms a scab, a bandage is no longer necessary.
Call your child's doctor if the wound is red, swollen, tender, warm, or beginning to drain.
For Bleeding From a Large Cut or Laceration:
Wash the wound thoroughly with water. This will allow you to see the wound clearly and assess its size.
Place a piece of sterile gauze or a clean cloth over the entire wound. If available, use clean latex or rubber gloves to protect yourself from exposure to blood. If you can, raise the bleeding body part above the level of your child's heart. Do not apply a tourniquet.
Using the palm of your hand on the gauze or cloth, apply direct pressure to the wound for 5 minutes. (During the 5 minutes, do not stop to check the wound or disturb any blood clots that may form on the gauze.)
If blood soaks through the gauze, do not remove it. Apply another gauze pad on top and continue applying pressure.
Call your child's doctor or seek immediate medical attention for all large cuts or lacerations, or if:
you're unable to stop the bleeding after 5 minutes of pressure, or if the wound begins bleeding again (continue applying pressure until help arrives)
you're unable to clean out dirt and debris thoroughly, or there' s something else stuck in the wound
the wound is on your child's face or neck
the injury was caused by an animal or human bite, burn, electrical injury, or puncture wound (e.g., a nail)
the cut is more than half an inch long or appears to be deep - large or deep wounds can result in nerve or tendon damage
If you have any doubt about whether stitches are needed, call your child's doctor.
