- Is there air coming out of the wound?
- Is there bubbling blood coming out of the wound?
If yes then your first priority is to place your hand over the wound to stop the air from coming out.
Afterwards dress the wound with a non-stick gauze so that it is air-tight. Tape the patch down on three of the four sides.
- If the abdomen is inflating.
- If the patient is having trouble breathing, but exhibits a clear throat or other airway passage
Then lift the free side of the patch to let the air out of the pneumonia-thorax in order to prevent a lung collapse. Repeat as is necessary.
Have a helper or yourself alway keep the dressing air-tight.
Transport to hospital.
