Which approach is NOT recommended for controlling major haemorrhage?

The use of immediate transport to a hospital is not recommended as a primary approach for controlling major haemorrhage because it does not directly address the immediate need to stop the bleeding. While transporting a patient to a hospital is essential for definitive care, it should not replace initial life-saving interventions that can be performed on-site.

Controlling major haemorrhage requires immediate action to stabilize the patient's condition before or during transport. Techniques such as applying direct pressure, using haemostatic dressings, or, in some cases, using tourniquets are vital for stopping blood loss and preventing shock. These interventions must be prioritized in the field to improve the chances of survival and prepare the patient for transport. Therefore, while immediate transport is crucial, it should be secondary to the urgent need for bleeding control.
