It's important to contact emergency services immediately and follow their advice first and foremost.
Here are the most important first aid steps to treat a gunshot wound.

1. Apply pressure to the wound: Using a clean cloth or bandage, apply firm pressure directly to the wound to help slow or stop any bleeding. Do not remove any objects that may be in the wound, as this can cause further damage.

2. Elevate the affected area: If possible, elevate the affected area above the heart to reduce blood flow and bleeding.

3. Keep the person still: If the person is conscious, keep them still. Additionally, covering them with a blanket or jacket may help to keep them warm. Do not move them unless it is necessary for their safety.

4. Monitor vital signs: If you are trained to do so, monitor the person's vital signs such as breathing rate and heart rate, and be prepared to administer CPR.

5. Wait for medical help to arrive: Keep the person calm and wait for emergency medical help to arrive. Do not attempt to transport the person to the hospital yourself, as this can worsen the injury.
