Lesson 4:-
Bleeding wounds, from abrasions and lacerations, can occur during football matches. Skin wounds are the fourth most common injury in youth football. Scalp and facial lacerations can be particularly challenging as they frequently cause excessive bleeding.
The Laws of the Game: regulations for bleeding wounds
Any player bleeding from a wound must leave the field of play. They may not return until the referee is satisfied that the bleeding has stopped. A player is not permitted to wear any clothing with blood on it.
The vast majority of wounds seen on a football pitch are minor. Abrasions and small laceration are by far the most common of these injuries. Wounds
with capillary or venous bleeding are typically minor. Capillary bleeding is usually painful and the bleeding is slow but may be persistent. The amount of bleeding is directly proportional to the area of the skin involved. In football, these wounds are most commonly seen when playing on artificial turf.
Wounds with venous bleeding occur as a result of either lacerations or deep puncture wounds. The bleeding flow may be minor to major, depending on the size of the traumatised veins.
Wounds with arterial bleeding are a critical medical emergency and must be promptly recognised and managed. Bleeding is brisk, rapid and pulsatile. Once recognised, the bleeding must be immediately controlled by using whatever means are available. Direct pressure, elevation of the affected limb or wound closure can all be effective strategies. In some cases, an appropriate arterial tourniquet might be used.
