First - Aid for Electric Shock
If anyone suffers an electric shock, the electricity source should be cut off immediately. Only conduct the first-aid when the victim is in a safe place. Check the victim's breath and pulse.
FIRST-AID FOR ELECTRIC SHOCK
If
anyone suffers an electric shock, the electricity source should be cut off
immediately. Only conduct the first-aid when the victim is in a safe place.
Check the victim's breath and pulse. If the person is unconscious but is
breathing normally, he or she should be placed in a recovery position. If the
victim is not breathing and has no pulse, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should
be conducted.
Note:
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be carried out only by competent first-
aid personnel.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Treatment:
1. Open the AIRWAY
Lift
the jaw and tilt the head back to open the airway. Clear any obstacles.
2. Check the BREATHS
See:
See if the chest rises and falls.
Listen:
Listen for breathing.
Feel:
Feel breathing on your cheek.
3. Check the pulse (CIRCULATION)
Use
your fingers to feel the pulse.
4. Recovery position
If
the casualty is unconscious but is breathing normally, place them in the
recovery position. (as shown in figure below)
5. Mouth to mouth expired air
resuscitation
If
the person is not breathing, mouth-to mouth resuscitation should be used to
help
the
resumption of breathing.
6. External chest compression
If
the casualty has no pulse, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be carried out
(combining the expired air resuscitation and external chest compression).
