There are five basic types
of emergencies that every hunter should know.
1.
Victim bleeding.
Stopping
the bleeding of a victim must be the first thing a hunter should know and to
keep it from being infected. Applying direct pressure by pressing hard directly
onto the wound with any available material or by pressure points.
2.
Victim in shock.
The
extreme effect of shock can inhibit the function of heart or lungs and can even
cause death. To a victim that is injured, he/she must not be in shock making
he/she feel uncomfortable by lying down with feet elevated.
3.
Victim with
sprain.
A
splint should be made for any bone fracture to keep it from moving.
4.
Victim with burn.
For
first degree burns, use cold water to sooth the pain. For second degree burns,
cover it with sterilized bandages and apply no pressure to let the wound breath
out. For third degree burns, cover them with dry sterile bandages and ask for
medical attention.
5.
Victim not
breathing.
<span>Check
the airway passage of the victim if it is not blocked. If it is clear, listen
to the breathing of the victim for 5 seconds. If he is still not breathing,
breathe into the mouth of the victim just like a CPR. </span>
