The best choice when a person continues to bleed even with direct pressure is to monitor closely for signs of shock. Bleeding is a major cause of shock, and signs of shock such as rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, pale, cool, clammy skin, weakness, and confusion, can be life-threatening. By closely monitoring for signs of shock, you can take immediate action to stabilize the person's condition until medical help arrives. Applying ice or elevating the upper extremities will not prevent bleeding or shock and maintaining a patent airway and preventing vomiting may be necessary but are not the first priority in this situation.
