I would not sit someone with potential blood loss and spine injury up let alone a head injury Move them as little as possible to get out of danger and render aid

Never pour isopropyl alcohol in a wound. It devitalizes tissue and increases chance of infection. If they survive the wound it will be thoroughly and appropriately cleaned when you seek medical attention

I was always taught a saline flush was better on wounds.

Thank You, I didn’t know that. So would Saline be better to rinse IF needed (dirt in wound) or just pack and pressure ?

I was wondering about that part when I read it. I’m thinking more like immobilized and loaded on a Backboard and/or Stretcher. And if still under fire keep low to the ground like a snake.
