Faced with an injured motorcyclist with a nosebleed, what is the correct action?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

If after a traffic accident a motorcyclist has bleeding from the nose or ear, it could be a severe traumatic brain injury. In these cases, the correct action is never to plug the blood outlet, as retaining it inside the skull could cause severe brain damage. The blood should be allowed to flow freely, placing a sterile gauze or clean handkerchief on the outside to soak it up if necessary. In addition, the injured person should not be moved nor the helmet removed unless strictly necessary for resuscitation.
