Victims status
P.S. When medical assistance arrives, be prepared to inform them what you have done so far.
It is very difficult to accurately assess the severity of a gunshot wound based upon what is visible on the victim; internal damage may be severe even in circumstances where the entrance and exit wounds are small.
Keep calm. If you panic you'll cause the victim to panic.
Pressure is key: it stops the flow and contains the blood to help create a blood clot.
If the victim appears to have a spinal cord injury, do not move them unless you absolutely must. If you must move the victim, be sure to keep the head, neck and back aligned.
Avoid blood-borne illnesses. Make sure any open wounds you may have do not come in contact with the victim's blood.
Even with the best first aid, gunshot wounds may be fatal.
Do not put your own life at risk when treating a gunshot victim.
