How to stop someone from bleeding?
A dwarf ambushed me and is now lying on the ground with a leg injury (artery open); I talked her out of the fight.
The thing is, she proved to be a good warrior and I'd like to recruit her, but is there any way I can heal her leg?
Best Answer
You need a hospital setup, along with someone who can bandage which is carried out by 'Wound Dressing' skill wielding dwarfs, and cloth available for the dressing.

edit:
Realised you're in adventure mode -- you'd need to hope your dwarf has some wound dressing abilties, or try crawling somewhere to someone who does and hope they'll help you, but I don't think this is implemented yet.

Apply direct pressure on the cut or wound with a clean cloth, tissue, or piece of gauze until bleeding stops. If blood soaks through the material, don't remove it. Put more cloth or gauze on top of it and continue to apply pressure.What are three ways to control bleeding?
The most commonly accepted and utilized methods of hemorrhage control are direct pressure, elevation and the use of pressure points. All three should be used in order to attempt to control bleeding.
