Immobilize the cervical spine using a homemade collar. Put a sterile cotton swab on the wound, lay the victim on his/her back with the legs up. If possible, put something cold on the head.
It is forbidden to put a neck brace. It is necessary to cover the wound with medical adhesive tape, lay the victim on his/her side.
Explication
For the official exam, choose direct pressure and a compression dressing, a stable side position after loss of consciousness, and cold on the head if available. Separately, real first aid follows the current protocol: with a possible skull fracture, cover loosely or press around the injury, monitor breathing, and minimize spinal movement.
