Bleeding treatment;bullet wound
A bullet wound may be superficial or involve internal bleeding and serious damage. Stop heavy bleeding by direct pressure until help arrives. Cover a surface wound with sterile gauze, but don’t try to clean it until you have received medical advice. If the wound is internal, check for breathing and give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if necessary. Keep the patient lying down, with his head low if possible, to aid the supply of blood to the brain. Wrap coats or blankets under and over his body, and call an ambulance urgently.
