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.
How big does a hole have to be in the chest for it to develop in a sucking chest wound?
A sucking chest wound typically occurs when there is a wound in the chest that is large enough to allow air to be drawn into the pleural cavity during inhalation. Generally, this hole needs to be at least 2 centimeters (about 0.8 inches) in diameter to create a significant pressure difference and allow air to enter the thoracic cavity. Smaller wounds may not create the same effect, but can still be serious and require medical attention.
