What is the best way to prevent someone from going into shock from blood loss?

[alldunn]

They'd be fcuked if I had to save em because I don't have a clue.

[ree]

Are they diabetic What happened to apply pressure if it's an external wound, lay them down, and elevate legs? And call 911?

[Mr. I - Man]

Start the Breathing

Stop the Bleeding

Protect the wound

And Treat for Shock

[HIHUMMER]

Don't want to do the second or third due to the risk of vomiting.

[Dug]

Stick a tampon in it.

[PARAGON]

Assume only the details of the question and answers given. Blood loss has already occured and has been stopped, the person is stabilized but conventional help is not nearby or time convenient.

[Mr. I - Man]

Answer 1 is the only correct answer.

Never give a Hemorrhagic Shock victim fluids orally.

Saline, Hemogolibin and blood packs should be administered interveinously as soon as possible.

So 2 & 3 are wrong dead wrong

[Mr. I - Man]

What do I win?????

[Dug]

I'd guess it would have to be A) " stroke them"
Because the other two cant be done.

[PARAGON]

Answer is B. In hemorrhagic shock, blood loss exceeds the body's ability to compensate and provide adequate tissue perfusion and oxygenation. After the wound or blood loss is taken care of and there is a chance of shock, intravenous access and fluid resuscitation is the norm if traditional medical care is available. If it is not, fluid resuscitation needs to occur as quickly as possible and red meat as well as chicken contains hemoglobin which helps build the cell count, as if you had an iron deficiency. Chicken soup is an alternative also for the same reasons but might be easier to administer.

Paragon, You said only assume the details of the Question & awnser. IT doesnt say anything about having chicken soup at hand. So the only thing to do is massage them.

No trick questions or hidden answers, just interesting question/answers.

[Mr. I - Man]

Wrong !!!!!Nothing oral ,feeding is oral if the victim is fed oral the blood will travel to the stomach to aid in digestion and away from vital organs. Doing what Paragon said will put the victim in further danger. IV is the only to admin fluids.

As someone who treats shock victims I'll have to agree with part of the "correct" answer since Paragon said the victim was NOT in shock yet. However, I don't get the "animal meat" part, WTF ?!? Secondly, oral rehydration is a well-proven therapy even when someone is in shock if there are no alternatives, i.e. you are up the mountain on your Hummer and there was an accident. The key is to do it slowly, sips at a time or a straw at a time (stick the straw in the liquid, close one end with your finger, transfer to the mouth, release, repeat every 3 minutes until you get about a gallon into an adult victim). Now if the person is in a coma as well from a head injury or deep shock so he can't swallow then...SOL folks. I think the lesson here is to think ahead and bring along plenty of water and Gatorade and straws (in a pinch use a piece of bark as a spoon). Of course if you are stuck on the mountains for a few days and need liquid, there is a set up where you can purify your urine to drink... but that's another story.
