When a pad becomes soaked with blood while treating a bleed, you should replace it with a clean pad without removing the original one immediately, as this can disrupt any clotting that may be occurring. Apply gentle pressure to the area to help control the bleeding. If the bleeding does not stop or worsens, seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, monitor for signs of shock and keep the person calm and still.
