You first call 911. They you lie them down. Loosen any restrictive clothing, monitor their breathing and pulse. keep them warm with a blanket. Raise their feet 10 inches off the ground, above their head. Keep giving them reassuring thoughts such as 'It's okay' even if they are unconscious.
To make sure they aren't seriously injured and that they are breathing normal. (:
The goal is to ensure that the victim is in a safe area, has no major head injuries or in fact any other injury, and breathing is stable.
to prolong life and treat minor wounds.
to save the life of others
she is generous person give example .
Give him a very strong electrical shock of 500 to 600 volts.
No, most of the time when CPR is required the person is unconscious and therefore is unable to give CPR to themselves. A person can give themselves a modified version of the Heimlich maneuver though.
It's dangerous because - when someone is unconscious, their gag reflex doesn't work. This means that - if you give them something to drink - the fluid will go into their lungs instead of down to their stomach - causing them to literally drown !
Yes! If a person is in shock from lack of glucose (sugar), waiting wont do any good. If the person is in shock, however, he/she won't likely be conscious. DO NOT put hard objects like candy in an unconscious person, as this fall into and block an air pathway, and kill the person. So, rub sugar (or another sweet powder) in the mouth for the person to get the needed glucose. If something like candy falls down a person's air pathway (miraculously doesn't get stuck) and falls into a lung... the person might need an operation to get it back out.
Of a structure, to fall down or give way. Of a person, to fall down and become unconscious as a result of illness or injury
The monitor will not give the shock.
When a person is in shock, there are certain things that should not be done to them. An individual should not give the person in shock anything to eat or drink, should not wait to call 911 (because the condition could get worse) and should neither move the person nor elevate his or her legs if a spinal injury, head injury, neck injury and/or broken bones in the hips or legs are suspected.
You should always follow the pneumonia ABC. Airway, Breathing, Circulation. The most important step in treating a victim of shock is ensuring that they have a patent airway. The next step is to ensure that the victim is breathing adequately. Then, the victim's pulse should be assessed and any active bleeding should be controlled with direct pressure.
The person in which you are trying to help must be unconscious, and unable to give you permission, you are then expected to help that person. If they have issues down the road you're ok because of this law.
yes.
Because the fluid can be aspired by the lungs and causes a deadly asphyxia.
