MONITOR CASUALTY
Once the casualty begins to breathe normally, check and treat any other injuries.
Evacuate the casualty to a medical treatment facility as soon as practical. If you cannot
evacuate him at this time, stay with him until he regains consciousness and can take
care of himself. The casualty should be examined by professional medical personnel.
If the casualty's throat has been injured, it may swell and interfere with the casualty's
breathing again.
