First Aid

	Shock	Elevate the legs if possible.
		Inclining the entire body so that blood flows to the heart and brain can be adequately irrigated.
	IV	IV bottle drip with at least a saline solution/plasma if they can’t type match a blood transfusion.
		You must keep a blood pressure/circulation and vitals function in stabilization to eventually create homeostasis and recovery
	CPR	Be prepared to immediately perform CPR if there is a suspicious loss of consciousness.
	Bleeding	Stopping Bleeding With Pressure Bandages Directly to All Wounds
	Exit wound	Treat exit wound first by inserting a Celox or Quick Clot pack, or antibiotice powder or gel.
		Apply proper size compression bandage.
		If you don’t have a pressure bandage you have to press down and hold your bandage with sufficient power to preclude leakage until the Quick Clot does its thing by rapidly coagulating the wound area through a chemical process
		Then go to the smaller entrance hole.
	Entrance wound
		Pressure bandages like the Israeli bandage, have built in pressure torque clamping system and work well. A ‘pressure bandage’ is just what it sounds like. It must be applied and kept under pressure. And we don’t just do a little pressing/holding it on while you tape it.
		A victim can bleed out through a bandage a little slower but critically and not be noticed because the bandage absorbs and hides the flow the blood. The bleeding must be stopped at the wound. The bandage must be tightly pressed on the wound or the bleeding won’t be stopped properly.
		Many are aware of the use of a tourniquet to stop large bleeding in the extremities. If you use the Quick Clot material and pressure bandages quickly and efficiently and the wound is not bleeding so profusely then you shouldn’t need a tourniquet.
		But if a major artery is open and that you can’t even insert the Quick Clot material due to being unable to temporarily ’sponge’ out the blood, then apply a tourniquet only as long as it takes you to dress the wound and stop the bleeding then remove it immediately afterward.
		Once the bleeding has been stopped, make the victim comfortable and quiet while monitoring for shock and respiratory difficulties until further advanced treatment requirements can be ascertained and provided if possible.
