The severity of the injury largely depends on the depth and location of the wound. Immediate medical attention is critical to assess damage and initiate treatment, which may involve surgery to repair any injuries and stabilize the patient. Signs of a serious chest stab wound include difficulty breathing, rapid heart rate, and excessive bleeding.
