We are living in tough times and people keep dying from 𝑮𝑼𝑵𝑺𝑯𝑶𝑻 wounds daily. Some of these deaths can be stopped.
A lot of these people die because of bleeding, and not necessarily organ damage.
This article handles 𝑮𝑼𝑵𝑺𝑯𝑶𝑻 wounds around the Thoracic and Abdominal cavities
1) If the patient is conscious, let him lie down in the most comfortable position. If he is unconscious, lay him down in a way that exposes the wound.
2) 𝑫𝑶 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝑻𝑹𝒀 𝑻𝑶 𝑹𝑬𝑴𝑶𝑽𝑬 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑼𝑳𝑳𝑬𝑻: this will only worsen the bleeding.
3) 𝑨𝒑𝒑𝒍𝒚 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆: You can use your hands, or even your knee to prevent blood flow. Forget about the pain and save his life. Pain hardly kills, but bleeding does.
4) If the wound is on the Chest, block it with plastic. This is to prevent air from collapsing the lungs
5) If any internal organs are exposed, try not to touch them with your hands. ❌❌❌
6) Do not waste time taking pictures, every second wasted takes the victim closer to death 📵📵📵
7) Try to keep the legs lower than the rest of the body. This increases blood flow to the legs, thus reducing blood flow to the affected area.
8) If the patient stops breathing, administer mouth-to-mouth breathing. If the heart stops beating, carry out chest compressions.
9) Get to a hospital ASAP.
