damenti, che ogni combattente
dovrebbe ayere present.:
L. Non toccare mai la ferita ne
con lie dita, ne col fazzoletto, ne
con altrO Oggetto che non sia mel
pacchetto di medicazione.
2. Copri al piu presto possible
la ferita con la garza del tue pac-
Ghetto, ma devi evitare mel modo
piu assoluto di toccare il pezzo di
garza che dovra venire in contat-
to con la ferita.
3. Non lavare mai la ferita ne
con acqua, ne con soluzioni che
puoi credere disinfettanti.
A. Sc possiedi la tintura di jo-
dio, applicala intorno ALA ferita.
5. Sc hal una ferita al ventre.
bada di non bere e tanto piu ba-
da di non mangiare.
6. Sc hal una ferita anche leg
lera al capo, dOpo averla fasciata
col materiale del pacchetto, va
subito a farti medicare al posto
di medicazione.
Z. Sc la ferita da sangue, dopo
applicata la garza del pacchetto,
stringi la fascia, in modo da com
primere la ferita.
8. Sc 81 tratta di ferita del
braccio o della gambia, ii accor-
gi che dopo la fasciatura la ma
no il piede diventano gonfi,
vuol dire che la fasciatura e trop-
po stretta.
9. Sc a malgrado della fascia-
tura stretta il sangue continua
scorrere, cerca di comprimere e.
nergicamente con una mano la
fasciatura stessa contro la ferita
e, Sc 81 tratta di un braccio 0 di
una gambia, prega un compagno
che con un fazzoletto 0 una cin-
ghia O con un laccio uualsiasi ii
leghi circolarmente e motto stret
to il braccio o la coscia, al DISC
pra della ferita.
10. Ricordati che, dopo essere
state cosl legato al di sopra della
ferita, devi subito andare al po-
sto di medicazione, perche man.
tenendo per piu di due ore il
braccio legato in modo cosi street
to, corri il pericolo che gil arti ca
dano in cancrena.
