How to manage Internal Bleeding?

1. Lay the patient down with the head low. Raise his legs using pillows.
2. Keep the patient calm and relaxed with reassurance. Do not allow the patient to move.
3. Maintain the body heat with blankets, rugs or coats.
4. Do not give anything to eat.
5. Do not apply hot water bottles or ice bags to the chest or abdomen. This may make things worse.
6. Arrange for the patient to be shifted to the hospital at the earliest.
