Have the victim breathe with shallow breaths to avoid excessive suction inside chest. Normally, the same principles applying to emergency treatment of extremity cuts also apply to abdominal wounds. Bleeding from the skin or muscles under the skin can be controlled by applying pressure. Deep wounds may enter the abdominal cavity and may lacerate soft abdominal organs, causing excessive bleeding into cavity and little visible bleeding on the surface. Get the victim to a hospital.
Time is of utmost importance.
Victim should not eat or drink anything. Indicate special medical problems or carry along any special medications. Keep the victim warm, as excessive blood loss reduces body temperature and normal body functions. Raise legs slightly to prevent pooling of blood in legs. If a broadhead wound is involved, take a similar broadhead along for the doctor to see.
