The first "sign" would probably be a hole with blood coming out of it. The first "symptom" would probably be the patient screaming in pain.

What symptom is a sign of an open chest wound?

Let's see...difficulty in breathing, a sucking sound when the victim tries to, lots of blood on the chest part of his uniform, and big holes in the troop's chest are all symptoms of an open chest wound. One thing that must be pointed out: Open chest wounds in combat often come in pairs - one on the front where the bullet entered, one on the back where it exited. Make absolutely sure you check for that second one; patching up one sucking chest wound won't help the soldier breathe better if he has two.


When dressing an open chest wound where do you tie the knot?

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. There's nothing to tie down anywhere in that. You could be thinking of flail chest which has more to do with broken bones then an open chest wound. As an army medic I find your question soul crushingly confusing.
