FM/BG-433.V1.02 - Step 4: Treat Other Injuries
After addressing life-threatening bleeding and airway issues, assess the casualty for other injuries.
- Start with untreated wounds on the head and chest.
- Bandage these areas thoroughly because you can't use tourniquets here, and injuries to these regions can be critical.
- Move on to limbs with the least severe wounds.
- This helps to stabilise the casualty but also streamlines the process for incoming medical personnel.
- After bandaging, if you identify any broken limbs, apply splints.
