First Aid for Special Wounds
Basic lifesaving steps are discussed in Chapters 1 and 2: clear the airway/restore the breathing, stop the bleeding, protect the wound, and treat/prevent shock. They apply to first aid measures for all injuries. Certain types of wounds and burns will require special precautions and procedures when applying these measures. This chapter discusses first aid procedures for special wounds of the head, face, and neck; chest and stomach wounds; and burns. It also discusses the techniques for applying dressings and bandages to specific parts of the body.
