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.

There shouldn't be a knot to tie. The treatment for an open chest wound is to put a piece of plastic over it and tape it down on the sides so that air cannot get in or out of the wound.
