Dr. Nguyen Xuan Anh, a specialist in microsurgery, said that first aid and timely transfer of victims to specialized medical facilities during the golden hours in the early hours is very important.

If the part of the limb is still not broken , there is still blood to support, need to get clean cloth or gauze wrapped right in the wound wound. The upper part of the wound is crushed, you can squeeze it tightly or elastic bandage with pressed bandage, clean cloth helps to limit blood loss and transfer directly to a specialist hospital. If the affected area is far away from the medical facility, the gauze bandage with the wooden stick is straight to fix the part of the limb that is about to break off on the way.

In the event of a break from the body , the part should be cut off into a clean, sealed plastic bag. If possible, wrap this in a gauze before putting it in a plastic bag. Put plastic bags in cold ice. Take care to avoid direct contact with cold ice, making the blood vessels and nerves broken.

With the remaining lesions on the body, hand tighten or bandage with compression bandages, clean cloth so that the victim can limit blood loss and then take them to a medical facility. Absolutely not sprinkle medicine, folk leaves on the wound.
