I believe you on the 10 hours; my outdoor first aid training had some discussion of longer term stabilisation than that though it wasn't an expedition course. "A second afterwards" was added after my close vote, and to me doesn't change things enough to vote to reopen. | |

Assess for major bleeding, address if needed (it's not needed in this case but at t + 1 sec you don't have that answer yet), then try to call it in. Only past that point does it make any difference if EMS is 10 seconds or 10 hours out. (And, yes, they could be 10 hours out--backcountry and weather that a chopper can't fly in.) | |

| May 12, 2021 at 13:30 | comment | added | Chris H | @KateGregory we were typing at the same time; I agree that a hunting incident would be on topic, but don't think this is. For one thing in a backwoods situation you may have the question of whether to evacuate the casualty or go for help (if you can't simply call for help) and you're likely to have to support the casualty for far longer | |
| May 12, 2021 at 13:28 | comment | added | Chris H | From a first aid point of view, it's the same as any other puncture wound that isn't gushing blood from an artery (though even that wouldn't be very different): get a dressing on there, and press on it, call for an ambulance. A festival will have medical support on site and be within reasonable reach of a hospital. If it was a backwoods/hunting-related question, it might be on topic here, but as it stands, not really | |
| May 12, 2021 at 13:27 | comment | added | Kate Gregory | I think wilderness first aid is on topic here. Imagine a hunting accident. What would the companions do while waiting for help to arrive? | |
