You are treating a​ 22-year-old male who was stabbed in the neck during a bar fight. The police have arrested the​ perpetrator, and the scene is now safe. What is an important part of the treatment of this​ injury?

Answer 1

Answer: you have to seal the wound with an occlusive dressing

Explanation:

Remember that your hands have to be clean and the occlusive dressing too. An occlusive dressing is easy to get in any pharmacy. An occlusive dressing is an air- and water-tight trauma medical dressing used in first aid. These dressings are generally made with a waxy coating so as to provide a total seal, and as a result do not have the absorbent properties of gauze pads.
