That is also called a "sucking chest wound". You place plastic sheeting directly over the wound to keep the lung from collapsing. If your victim cannot breathe, there is a good chance the lung is already collapsed and you will need to perform rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth). The air in the lung cavity can escape back out of the chest cavity under the plastic and the lung may re-inflate. It will escape more effectively if you roll the victim so the wound is high. Leave the plastic in place. Treat for shock. Arrange for immediate transport to higher-level medical care.
