No. In fact it may worsen it by increasing the amount of blood flowing to the torso. A ruptured spleen must be treated surgically.

Quikclot is a hemostatic clotting agent that assists in rapidly forming surface blood clots to slow or stop the loss of blood, thereby preserving blood pressure and keeping a victim from "bleeding out" before the arrival of emergency medical personnel. Medical authorities are divided on the appropriateness of Quikclot and similar products due to the tendency of such products to cause significant burns in the affected area. Generally, Quickclot should be applied in the form of a pressure dressing applied directly over the wound. This allows the hemostatic agent to contact the wound and begin the clotting process while simultaneously providing direct pressure. Early versions of Quikclot were granular and, when poured directly into a wound, tended to travel into veins and arteries and cause significant burning along the veins and arteries. Newer versions in the form of Quikclot Combat Gauze have largely mitigated these early problems.

The only time it's real easy to diagnose a broken limb is when it's bent in a place where there's no joint. In any other case, go see a doc.

According to the Good Samaritan Act in Ontario, Canada, if you are qualified in First Aid you do not have the legal obligation to assist an injured person. For example, you pass by a car accident on the highway, this is when you would not be obligated. However if you are a teacher in a school, you would be required to provide help. In addition, even if you injury a person while giving first aid, for example, breaking the ribs when doing CPR, you are free from any liable damages and can not be sued.

Yes, but it depends on the type of door. I had mine severed when I was 12 years old by another boy when he slammed a metal door on me. It severed it completely.

SAMPLE is a mnemonic to help you remember the things you should check for when performing a secondary survey. The aim of this is to find out the history of what has happened. Once you have begun treatment for initial injuries such as no breathing, severe bleeding etc you need to find out the following:

Signs and Symptoms - what clues does the casualty show of what might be wrong. For example swelling around the ankle may indicate a fracture (among other things)
Allergies - is the casualty allergic to anything. Remove anything which is causing an allergic reaction.
Medication - is the casualty on any medication? how long for? have they taken it recently?
Past medical history - has this hap-penned before? it may be a repeat problem
Last meal - useful to tell the ambulance crew in case an anaesthetic is needed later
Event history - what caused the injury/accident? sometimes called the mechanism of injury

All of this may help you work out what is wrong and it will be useful to tell the ambulance crew all of this when they arrive (so keep a note)

For an unconscious casualty, this may be difficult but there may be clues such as a medical bracelet/medication in handbag.

If you need any further information, try searching for "secondary survey"
