Injuries

In case of injuries, it is prohibited:
to wash the wound with water;
to pour alcoholic drugs (iodine, alcohol) into the wound; to apply an ointment bandage to the wound, to pour medicine, to cover with cotton;
to remove bone fragments and blood clot from the wound;
to put the organs protruding from the wound back in place;
to apply a compressing bandage and cold pack to any organs protruding from the wound;
to remove a foreign body stuck in a wound;
to give fluids to a victim, in case of chest and abdominal injuries.

If there is no foreign body in the wound, immediately close the wound with your palm and prevent air from entering (if the victim is conscious, instruct them to use their own hand to cover the wound). For penetrating wounds with both an entrance and an exit wound, both wounds shall be sealed.

Place the victim in a semi-sitting position. Cover the wound with a clean, airtight material (polythene bag, aluminium foil, etc.). Seal the chest with adhesive plasters or bandages on three sides (so that air escapes from the chest when exhaling, and does not enter the chest when inhaling). Have the victim lean onto the injured side. The foreign body shall not be removed from the wound!

Call an ambulance. If the victim is unconscious, check for breathing and pulse. If necessary, perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. If the victim is unconscious but breathing, place them in a recovery position (healthy side facing up).

First aid of penetrating abdominal injuries

If the victim is conscious, position them on their back with their legs slightly bent. Place any pillow-shaped item under victim's knees. Call an ambulance. Monitor their breathing and pulse.

Do not put the organs protruding from the abdominal cavity back in place! Place the protruding organs on top of the wound and cover it with a clean cloth soaked in warm water. Polyethylene bag or aluminium foil can also be used.

If there is a foreign body in the wound, stabilize it by securing it in place with a bandage or clean cloth. The foreign body shall not be removed from the wound!
