What position should you immediately place casualty with abdominal wound?
The best position for an injured person is to place them on their side, with the knee of their top leg bent just a little, and their top arm placed so that the lower part of their hand is closer to the ground. This is to prevent the person from rolling over on their stomach, or on their back. This stabilizes the patient until help arrives. An exception to this would be if the person has (or you suspect they have) a neck or back injury. In this case, the person would be place on their back, moving them as little as possible, and securing their head so they can't turn it to either side.
What position should you place a casualty who has an abdominal wound?
A patient who has an abdominal injury should be placed in a sitting position with his knees bent and his legs drawn close to the body. This position is applied so that less strain is exerted on the abdominal muscles. Any abdominal injury should be evaluated by a doctor for possible internal organ damage and hemorrhage. Please note also kinesiological specificity: when sitting a patient up, the back must be Fully supported from behind, otherwise there will be considerable strain on the very stomach muscles one is trying to protect - which, of course, will actually prove to be counter-productive to the cause! As well as positioning a patient appropriately, treat the patient for hypovolemic shock. Keep them warm and reassure them constantly. If there is guarding, asymmetry, rigidity, bruising or any organs protruding, call an ambulance for immediate transportation to an emergency department. If you are in doubt about the severity of the condition, always assume the worst and call for assistance/backup.
