Answers:
Exactly what the first answerer said!.

To stop the bleeding, you would try and put some pressure on it without obstructing the airway though!.!.!. ah that would be so tough!.!.!. A bullet wound would probably have an exit wound as well on the back of the neck or somewhere around there, and you would apply direct pressure to that!.
An occlusive dressing most likely would be best for a would to the neck/throat area!. Honestly, trendelenburg position (legs up, to prevent hypovolemic shock )and lights and sirens to the hospital where they can give stitches and whatever else the poor person would need!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stop the bleeding!. Intubation is a possibility and if the lungs fill with blood we suction it out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
