Apply direct pressure to the wound, then pack the QuickClot gauze directly into the wound, ensuring it fills the cavity and controls bleeding. Once the gauze is in place, maintain pressure for a few minutes, then secure the gauze with a bandage. Monitor the casualty for signs of shock and be prepared to manage their airway and breathing as needed.
