I def recommend Urban Decay setting spray or NYX setting spray on top of whatever makeup you wear. The both work wonders in making makeup last!

Yes! You hit the nail on the head with what my initial concern was. The bleeding has to be stopped or else there wont be any blood left to pump through the body. So, that is where my dilemma was coming from. Essentially, the two should be done simultaneously.

Generally, the RNs are responsible for the CPR and anything like that (The guards step back when medical emergencies happen once medical staff is present), but they could definitely help maintain pressure on the wound, that's why I said it was a plausible solution. Thanks for the insight everyone! :)

Very insightful responses, thanks! I probably should have been more specific and said in a setting where you don't have help, like a prison where there is only one RN. But the solution of applying a pressure dressing and doing CPR would be a plausible solution!

Thanks guys. I just saw many conflicting suggestions on this topic, so I figured I'd get more insight. People who are proponents of stopping bleeding first gave the reasoning that doing compressions on someone who is bleeding is making their blood loss worse. Then on the other hand, CPR first supporters say you can die faster from lack of circulation and oxygen than you will from loss of blood. Another suggestion someone had was if a partner is available, someone can try to apply pressure to wound, while someone else does CPR.

Would doing CPR or stopping the bleeding take precedence? Wouldn't CPR exacerbate the blood loss?
