Not much as in USA there are often deaths from shootings - in schools..

First aid, CPR and stop the bleed should be mandatory as part of any school curriculum. Make people assets to their communities.

It is

You try teaching that to a 12 year old.

Absolutely pathetic. This is what a diet of Netflix, chicken tenders, suburbia, and hypno sissy porn does to a people.

It depends on where the bleeding is. If the bleeding is on an extremity you can use a tourniquet, but you cannot use one in the areas mentioned in this video. I need to brush up on my first aid (hence why I’m watching this video lol) so I highly recommend looking up some resources on tourniquet use. The red cross has a mobile app that you can use to learn, I have found that its a trustworthy source of up to date information. Hope this helps!

Would packing is most useful at junctional areas like the shoulders. A tourniquet can be applied to the extremities while abdominal and chest injuries should get an occlusive dressing.

This is meant as a first aid response not a long term solution.

Only add never remove.

You never remove a dressing in an emergency situation. Removing can destroy the clotting process and cause the wound to start bleeding again.

The best order to treat wounds is the MARCH mnemonic. Massive Hemorrhage Airway Respiration Circulation Hypothermia Stop the largest source of bleeding, make sure the wounded can breathe, make sure they are breathing correctly, check for other bleeding wounds and treat accordingly, and lastly but not less important make sure body temperature is normal. It's very important to check body temp. Stopping bleeding? Easy. Relieving the pressure in a tension pneumothorax? Easy. Bleeding, fractures, contusions, all easy. What isn't easy is what you cannot see. Just by losing blood volume the patient's temperature is dropping, so remove any wet clothing and put something dry and warm on them or put them somewhere hot. Ambient temperature is not gonna be enough, no matter if you're in Norway or Afghanistan. Keep. Them. Warm.

He said you could use any rag like a tie or handkerchief if you didn’t have gauze, and instead of a pressure wrap just use a shirt or something

No. I wouldn't ever help a stranger though. Let them fend for themselves. Society has never given me any quarter, nor will i give any to society.

@@whiteyfisk9769 then you’re just the same as society

This is only to stop the bleeding as much as possible before the paramedics come, the doctors in the Hospital can deal with the bullet later even if putting pressure on it may cause more pain or damage it can still be fixed later, your main priority is to make sure they don't bleed to death. Hope this helped (also I'm not a medical professional)

If you dont stop bleeding from a bullet wound they will die, so that is your number one priority. If you try to remove the bullet without the right tools and training you can make it worse. So your only option is to stop the bleeding, treat for shock, and get them professional help ASAP.

Bullets shouldn't make a difference however if it's arterial bleeding (bright red spurting blood) then you'd want to use a tourniquet instead. It's possible to stop with packing but much harder. If it's a chest wound you want to use an occlusive dressing instead and if it's an area you can't tourniquet packing+pressure is your best bet. Bullets to limbs will almost always have an entrance and exit wound and bullets to the torso will likely have an entrance and exit wound unless they hit bone. If they did hit bone like ribs watch out for bone fragments and if they hit the spine be careful as the victim could be paralyzed. Avoid moving them if possible. If you can identify spinal fluid take extra care but stopping the bleeding is still your #1 priority.

Also make sure they do not go into shock. Talk to them to make sure they're still thinking straight. Screaming swear words and complaining about how much it hurts is normal, dazing off isn't. Give CPR if needed and when dealing with wounds on a limb make sure you elevate the limb above the heart to reduce blood flow. Never go in after the bullet, most doctors will not even bother and just let the body heal around it.
