Don't treat bleeding with ice, though. A little direct pressure and some gentle traction to bring the skin edges reasonably close together is all it takes. The less elaborate the bandage, the better.
Thanks Dr.Pete! Yeah - Kristie applied some direct pressure with a towel and they placed the bagged ice on the outside of several folds in the towel. I'm definitely no expert in the matter ... even with a little training, when an actual "Emergency" happens, it is strange how you sort of go blank with the right things to do.
