Thank You, I didn’t know that. So would Saline be better to rinse IF needed (dirt in wound) or just pack and pressure ?
I was wondering about that part when I read it. I’m thinking more like immobilized and loaded on a Backboard and/or Stretcher. And if still under fire keep low to the ground like a snake.
Just pack and pressure. If the person lives the wound will be cleaned when treatment is rendered. You have no idea where the wound goes or what you would stir up with your irrigation and the priority in the field is to save a life. Others will worry about infection later.
