Removing the large knife and controlling the bleeding should be the first priority in treating this patient. The knife could be obstructing the airway and causing severe internal bleeding. The AED should also be applied in case the patient is in cardiac arrest. Beginning CPR would not be helpful until the source of bleeding is controlled. Simply stabilizing the knife with bulky dressings may not be sufficient to control the bleeding and transporting the patient immediately without attempting to remove the knife could lead to further complications.
