If,however, the above does not answer, we pass a thread through thetissue underneath the blood vessel and tie it tightly, and by this meansclose the opening. Compression is sometimes used as a means of stopping we can accomplish by pressure of the finger above the bleedingregion, or, if it is an extremity, ligate the member above the part by.

Another meansof stopping a hemorrhage is by using a cauterizing iron (thermo-cautery).These, however, should only be used in wounds where you do not expecthealing by first intention. All agents which have the property of stoppinghemorrhages, as a rule, coagulate or draw the tissues in such a way as toprevent healing by first intention. Capillary or slight subcutaneous hemorrhages can be stopped bypressure or irrigation with cold water. Hot water is also sometimes usedto control hemorrhage. 368 WOUNDS AND THEIR TREATMENT Wounds which can heal by first intention, such as all operativewounds which have been thoroughly disinfected according to the methoddescribed above, and where the hemorrhage has been stoppe
