                                      SECTION VIII
                                      NOSE INJURIES

Severe nosebleed can be most frightening. It can also lead to shock
if enough blood is lost! Many cases of nosebleed can be controlled
simply by having the victim sit down, pinch the nostrils shut
and lean forward (to prevent blood from running into the throat).
Once the bleeding has been stopped, talking, walking and blowing
the nose may disturn blood clots and allow the bleeding to resume.

If it is suspected that the victim has suffered head, neck or back
injuries DO NOT attempt to control the blood flow as they may cause
increased pressure on injured tissue. All uncontrolled nosebleeds
require prompt medical attention!
