Managing Penetrating Abdominal Injuries: An Essential Guide for Non-Medical Responders

George Kesov, Nina Stoyanova.


Abstract
Penetrating abdominal injuries, resulting from gunshots, stab wounds, or sharp trauma, pose an immediate threat to life due to severe internal bleeding, peritonitis, or multi-organ damage. This guideline provides non-medical professionals with a structured approach to the identification, initial management, and emergency response for such injuries. The recommendations focus on rapid recognition of symptoms, hemorrhage control using hemostatic agents and compressive dressings, pain management, and the critical importance of timely evacuation. Developed with input from trauma specialists and first-aid trainers, this guide translates complex medical protocols into practical, actionable steps for first responders, security personnel, and laypersons in high-risk environments. By equipping non-medical professionals with essential knowledge and skills, this guideline aims to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with penetrating abdominal injuries.

Key words: Penetrating trauma care, Abdominal wound management, Emergency trauma response, How to manage penetrating abdominal injuries, First aid steps for abdominal wounds
