For a moderate to severe head injury, take the
following steps:
Call 911 right away.Check the person's airway, breathing, and
circulation. If necessary, begin rescue
breathing and CPR. If the person's breathing and heart rate are
normal but the person is unconscious, treat
as if there is a spinal injury. Stabilize thehead and neck by placing your hands on
both sides of the person's head.

Stop any bleeding by firmly pressing a
clean cloth on the wound.
If you suspect a skull fracture, do not apply direct
pressure to the bleeding site, and do not remove
any debris from the wound. Cover the wound with
sterile gauze dressing. If the person is vomiting, to prevent choking, roll the
person's head, neck, and body as one unit onto his
or her side. This still protects the spine. Children
often vomit once after a head injury. This may notbe a problem, but call a doctor for further guidance.
Apply ice packs to swollen areas.
