Procedures for treating wounds and managing bleeding.

Always check for an exit wound, especially with penetrating injuries. An object might have passed completely through the body.

Follow BSI, expose the injured area. Use a sterile dressing, maintaining direct pressure. Bandage, then assess pulse below the injury.

For excessive bleeding, add another dressing. If gauze is saturated, remove only the top layer to maintain pressure.

Used for open chest wounds, to prevent air from entering the chest cavity.

For protruding organs (evisceration), do not touch or replace them. Cover with sterile, moistened dressing and secure.

Do not remove unless it's in the cheek. Manually secure the object, control bleeding, and use a bulky dressing.

Wrap the amputated part in a sterile dressing, place in cool plastic wrap or bag, and transport with the patient.

May lead to air embolism. Cover with an occlusive dressing and compress the carotid artery, if needed for severe bleeding.

Areas of the body susceptible to injuries, includes areas like forehead, shoulder, hip and hand.

Apply direct pressure to control bleeding from the scalp.

Flush the eye with water for any eye injury, contact medical direction and flush it 20 minutes or more for chemical injury, and cover with moist dressing for burns.

For loose teeth or blood obstructing airway, address airway issues first. If teeth are dislodged, handle gently and don't touch the root.

Skin protects the body from the environment, regulates body temperature, and senses heat, cold, touch, pressure, and pain.

An avulsion is a severe wound where tissue is completely torn away from the body.

A tourniquet is used to stop bleeding by restricting blood flow from an injured limb.

A occlusive dressing is used to cover chest wounds, sealing the area and preventing air entry.

Immediately flush the eyes with large amounts of water for at least 20 minutes and contact medical direction.

Burn severity is assessed based on the location, percentage of body surface area (BSA) burned, depth of burn, pre-existing medical conditions, and age of the patient.
