[Now that blood loss is not the most immediate problem, Katara is searching for a hold on his veins. Waterbending could encourage the natural process of life and speed up healing, but she had to know how something was supposed to work in order to fix it when it was broken. Fortunately, this is a clear cut problem - all she had to do was close the wound.
Yugoda had eight year olds healing worse injuries on starbass. She could do this.
Katara begins to use the water to push and pull at his veins, encouraging them to close and heal over. It's going to tingle something fierce, but it will feel cool and soothing at the same time. It takes some time, but the veins eventually close over.
Tired, but not done yet, Katara gets to work on closing his skin over the wound as well, just enough to stop the bleeding.]
