After managing the airway, recognizing bleeding (hemorrhage) and understanding how it affects the body are perhaps the most important skills you will learn as a paramedic. This chapter begins with a review of the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems and their roles in keeping blood flowing between the lungs and peripheral tissues. The control of external hemorrhaging, including the use of tourniquets and the role of hemostatic agents, are discussed. Hemorrhagic shock, or shock resulting from bleeding, both internal and external, is also discussed.
