Also thought the CGI department really botched it for not showing his wounds gradually close up before he took a breath. They had him gasping with several knife wounds right into the lungs.

I think it would have ruined the suspense/effect/impact if we saw his wounds start to heal before he took a breath. That was likely a director/production decision, but CGI department botching it as you suggest. But if you want an in-story explanation, his lungs could have healed up enabling him to take that breath, hence the delay in him waking after she tried to revive him, but surface wounds didnt heal yet.
