Answers:
you should never remove any object that impales the skin, the proper thing to do, would be to stabilize it in place, and wait for professionals to remove the object properly!. keep in mind that once an object is embedded in the flesh blood clots begin to form around the object in an attempt to heal the damage as best as possible!. the only time you should ever remove an object is if it interferes with your breathing or airway!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You shouldn't remove an impaled object unless it affects a persons breathing!. Airway,breathing and circulation always come first!. If it isn't affecting the airway then it is left in place and stablized with bulky dressing to prevent movement of the object!. Taking an impaled object out can cause more damage then it did going in!. Doctors in the ER will do tests to make sure then the impaled object hasn't hit anything vital!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it depends on where the impailment is located at on the body!. head area, i would leave it in and seek medical advice!. if it were intramuscular, pull it out and clean it well, watch for adverse signs, if it is near an artery or large vein,leave it in and have a dr remove it!. if you remove it, you may be removing the very thing that is keeping it from bleeding out!. besst advice i can givre!.!.!.dont stab anyone with a dart!. lolWww@Answer-Health@Com
