PARIS, Sept 25 — How do you help someone with their leg bitten off by a shark? Groundbreaking research by an Australian medic-surfer has uncovered a simple way to stop bleeding and save lives.Shark attacks are rare but on the increase Down Under, due in large part to more people being in the water.
Many fatal shark bites occur around the legs, leaving the victim to bleed to death despite making it back to shore. His study showed that by making a fist and pressing down on the artery around 89.7 per cent of blood flow was stopped, versus 43.8 per cent using a surfboard leash as a make-shift tourniquet.“I knew from my background in emergency medicine if people have massive bleeding from their leg, you can push very hard on the femoral artery and you can pretty much cut the entire blood flow of the leg that way,” he said in a statement released by the university yesterday.
