What are the general rules to follow when applying a dressing or bandage on a wound?
When applying a dressing or bandage, you would do these things:control bleedingdo NOT remove saturated dressings if bleeding continues; instead, apply more gauze squares/pads, and apply more gauze wrap, and apply direct pressure with your handprevent further injury (such as if there is already a compound fracture where the bone sticks through the skin, you would protect that area so it does not result in more injury)do NOT attempt to clean a very dirty wound; let the E.R. Staff clean the wounddo NOT apply an cream, lotion, spray, etc. to any open or major wounddo NOT attempt to remove a projectile that has impaled the personbrace any projectiles with rolls of gauze (example: a man's leg is impaled by a piece of steel rod)start the dressing a little higher and a little lower than the woundstart from the fingers or toes on a limb wound and go upward with the roll of gauze---if the lower leg or arm needs coveredleave the toes and fingers exposeddo NOT wrap too loosely or too tightlycheck the color and warmth of fingers and toes; if blue or whitish, the bandage is too tight and needs removed and re-done.do NOT put an Ace bandage over a major wound; you need to see the gauze to see if bleeding continues or restarts.seek medical help promptlyA bandage should be sterile BUT any clean cloth or rag can substitute for a bandage if nothing else is available.Note: A scratch or scrape can be cleaned and a bandaid or dressing put on IF needed. Advise your patient to keep the bandage clean and dry.
What should you do if the wound bleeds through the emergency bandage?
Place a new emergency bandage over the top of the existing bandage. At first, adding more fresh bandages on top will help. But you would want to replace the blood-soaked bandages with fresh bandages as soon as possible, and re-apply direct pressure to the wound. Work toward preventing physical shock if possible, and get your victim to a professional- immediately.

What is the best way to remove the nonadhesive part of a bandage that is sticking to a two day old surgical incision?
REMOVAL OF FABRIC BANDAGE STUCK TO .... WIZEWUN SUGGESTS: Assuming that it is blood or plasma which has dried on the bandage to cause it to adhere to skin and the wound, then irrigate the bandage with boiled water which you allow to cool down to tepid (warm). You can then wrap a sheet of cling film over it for an hour or so and allow the dried plasma to absorb the water while you go on living. When the plasma has softened it will release and the bandage may be removed without disturbing the healing. Good health!
How do you use a roller bandage to cover a wound on the leg?
To cover a wound on a leg using a roller bandage, gauze must first be applied to the injury. The main point of a roller bandage is to secure other dressings for the wound. A roller bandage, as the name suggests, is rolled around the wound and then tied off. The knot should be placed directly over, or as close as possible to the location of the wound.

What are the steps to treat an open chest wound?
In combat. You first have to make sure the scene is safe. Move the wounded only if a life threatening situation exist. Once the person is secure and you have assessed the person needs help, and doesn't have a broken neck or some more serious affliction. Cover the chest wound with some sterile non porous material to act as a barrier to stop the flow of blood exiting the wound. Use a dressing to help control the bleeding. And use a bandage or dressing to hold it in place. Then go find professional medical help. If there are no proper medical or sanitary supplies near you. Improvise. Use your ID to seal the wound and strips of your shirt to make a bandage or a dressing.
