We use A,B,C's. A is for airway. B is for Breathing. C is for circulation. You assess in that order and treat in that order. No point in helping the blood circulate if there is no oxygen in it..so open the airway so forth and so on.

...an emergency?

Profuse External Arterial Bleeding? Hmm... maybe blood gushing out at an enormous rate might be a clue?

First aid? Stop the bleeding as soon as possible by pressure or tourniquet. Worry about infection or gangrene later, since if the blood is coming out that fast, the person will die rather quickly if the bleeding isn't stopped immediately.
