First Aid for Splints & Bleeding Wounds : How to Apply First Aid to a Gun Shot Wound

[whole27]

When you get shot, you must attempt to shoot the bullet out of your body by aiming at where you think the bullet is embedded in your body. Most likely, the second bullet won't be lodged in your body.....but if it is, you must release a third bullet! This is the only way!

Give me a thumbs up if you appreciate my advice!

All wrong... You need vitals before you apply such a dressing. A blood pressure and heart rate at least.

Dont use vaseline on any wound, for any reason. Open a sterile package. Use the cloth inside to remove excess blood, and then use the inside of the package to cover the wound. Leave at least a few inches on the edges so the plastic cannot be sucked into the wound. Tape on 3 sides to allow for drainage. If the patient gets worse after application, REMOVE THE COVERING. Cover with your hand

just curious wat is biggest risk of taking out bullet yourself ? my guess is infections but if there are other answers that would be great

[superrhino100]

Ok now I know for sure you are a fucking idiot...I don't believe for one second that you are actually a medic or for that matter even and EMT-B. Just because you have a GSW to the chest doesn't mean it's a sucking chest wound. A sucking chest wound only happens when the lung has been penetrated, not with every open chest injury dumbass

[13wraps]

@superrhino100 what about the chest cavity losing compression?

[superrhino100]

@13wraps There won't be air in the chest cavity if there is nothing wrong with the lung.

[hellyeahdrum]

@superrhino100 superdummy100 is well know for being dumb fool on youtube. You can easily find people pointing out his stupidity all over this place in countless videos. Trool the trools people. They are trying to act smart and when you can prove them wrong it really hurts them bad. It is the opposite of what they are looking for. Superrhino100, you continue to amaze me and amuse me with your stupidity. Maybe one of these days you will learn your dummy spot in this world, hahaha!!!

[diniliful]

@superrhino100 you're right sir, there's absolutely no way for a bullet to penetrate a super hard human lung.

[superrhino100]

@diniliful I never said it couldn't penetrate the lung asswhole...I was pointing out that not every gun shot wound to the chest hits a lung...you people can't fucking read either apparently!

[eclipse159]

@superrhino100 whether or not the bullet penetrates the lung you will get a sucking chest wound! the cavity around you lungs is kept at a lower pressure than the atmosphere, this enables you to draw air into your lungs, if this cavity gets punctured then the pressure will try to equalise through the hole, once this happens your lungs collapse.

[thegame245]

50 cent was shot 8 or 9 times i believe so they needed 8 or 9 or those white tissue papers and vaseline to cover the wounds im assuming

[corrindion]

Any info is helpful!!!

[Slic3R1]

if you follow the instructions of expertvillage on how to use a first-aid kit then you are good as dead

[idifferfromyou2008]

If you don't have Vaseline to air- and water-proof the dressing, you can cut a square of plastic carrier bag and tape that over the whole of the gauze/cloth/whatever instead. Can still do this even if you don't have access to appropriate dressing.

If the lung is collapsed (and assuming you are seated), stoop and lean towards the injured side to keep the good lung higher up.

Got this from the St. John Ambulance First Aid guide.

[freestylebxboricua]

WRONG its treatment for a punctured lung or a respiratory wound..neck/chest ext

[vickiormindyb]

I got shot in the back three times, but he was trying for six.

He got shot by the police before he could get away, then had the nerve to tell them he's going to sue them for shooting him.

I get yearly cortisone injections to control the back pain. This is 20 years later, and I still have back pain that won't go away.

My heart failed on my way to they hospital, and I had a near-death experience. I rose out of my body and was watching them work on me. Then I saw a tunnel before they revived me.

[BullyThePucky]

Very informative, thanks. I'll have to make it a point to toss some of that stuff into my glovebox. Never know when it might come in handy.

What I would have done prior to this is simple direct pressure (hands, for example) while awaiting paramedics.

[y2067]

umm wouldn't you want to take out tu=he bullet?

[Baccillus99]

That needs to be done at the ER. First stabilize pt. then take to WER. Surgeons will remove bullet. I dont recommend bullet removal unless you are trained in emergency trauma surgery.

[tobyrat23]

NEVER ATTEMP TO TAKE OUT THE BULLET.

[chimp644]

why ?

[tobyrat23]

Because you could bleed to death. Or at the very least cause more tissue damage.

[WTFitsJimmy]

who the fuck brings saran rap or Vaseline with them

[tobyrat23]

Everyone should have a fisrt aid kit!

[JBarz15]

if you have a gunshot wound to the chest, im pretty sure napkins and Vaseline arnt your biggest problems....

[tobyrat23]

Dude, are you kidding me? This is just so you don't go into respiratory failure while waiting for an ambulance!!!

[sakudi2]
