Use 'i' to designate a zone with beds, tables, and containers (stone coffers, metal chests, bags...). Then make it a 'h'ospital.

Assign a chief medical dwarf if you don't have one already, then turn off all their labors except diagnosis.

Find another spare dwarf, and assign them all the other healthcare tasks.

Behold! Dwarven medicine!

Hospital zone (i to designate zone etc, then h to make it a hospital). Add some beds here, containers (can be just bags). This is just the very basics, see the wiki for more detail. This will be enough for your other dwarves to get the message a haul him to safety.

Ensure you have some buckets made or available while this is going on, so other dwarves can give him water.

EDIT : Also, in addition to what the prev poster has made clear, some soap, thread, cloth, plaster should be available to store in the hospital, and it helps to have a well here or close by.

Have you got all of your civilians confined to a burrow because of the ambush? That might explain why no one is going to help your wounded Dwarf. I often forget to cancel my civilian alert after an ambush/siege.

If you have no idea what a burrow or civilian alert is, then disregard this.  But you might want to learn about them for future usage.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.
