How to Monitor and Assess Effectiveness?

Continuous monitoring is key to ensuring the effectiveness and safety of pressure application:
- Hemostasis: Check if bleeding has stopped and observe for any signs of re-bleeding.
- Circulation: Assess distal pulses, capillary refill, and skin color to ensure adequate blood flow is maintained.
- Pain and Sensation: Inquire about any increase in pain or numbness, which could indicate compromised circulation.
