First aid for wounds

All kinds of injuries are inevitably associated with shock and often - with the inability to perform the necessary measures. Therefore it is important to know what the first help is with injuries of different origins, be able to apply bandages and stop bleeding before the arrival of the medical team.

First aid with gunshot wound

The type of damage considered can be through (the bullet passed through), the blind (a bullet or a fragment stuck in soft tissues) or tangent. Depending on this, the intensity of blood loss is estimated.

Here's what you need to do:

1. To examine the victim, to try to prevent loss of consciousness.
2. Call for an ambulance.
3. Stop bleeding , if it occurs, by applying a tourniquet.
4. Immobilize the damaged part of the body.

It is important not to try to remove the bullet yourself. The first help with splinter wounds is carried out similarly, the main thing is to make sure that the victim is at rest, because, unlike the whole bullet, the sharp fragment can move in the tissues and cause additional internal damage.

First aid for eye injury

This type of injury is most difficult, especially in the presence of bleeding. The only thing that can be done before the arrival of a medical team is to impose a sterile bandage on the injured organ. If possible, it is desirable to immobilize and healthy eyes.

First aid in knife wound

Stitched and cut wounds are dangerous, as often accompany invisible damage to internal organs.

Technique of assistance:

1. Immobilize the affected limb or part of the body.
2. Stop the loss of blood with a tight bandage, a tourniquet or a large swab.
3. If possible, treat the edges of the wound with an antiseptic solution, but do not pour it inside, especially with deep cuts.

It should be noted that if foreign bodies get into the tissues, they can not be extracted independently, specialists will be engaged in this after the arrival of the emergency team. Otherwise, blood loss can intensify.

First aid for stomach injuries

Procedure:

1. Around the damage, place small rollers, place a sterile bandage on top, rather tight.
2. On the bandage, if possible, put a packet of ice or something cold.
3. Wrap the victim with a blanket or warm clothing, avoid supercooling, freezing of limbs.

In case of such injuries, it is important to immediately call an ambulance, since internal bleeding is very dangerous.
