First-aid treatments
As far as the victim of electric shock is not in dangerous condition, do not move him and
practice artificial respiration on him immediately. Once started, it should be continued
rhythmically.
1 Do not touch the victim confusedly as a result of the accident, but the rescuer
may also get an electric shock.
2 Turn off the power source calmly and move the victim away quietly from the
electric line.
3 Call a physician or ambulance immediately or ask someone to call a doctor.
4 Lay the victim on this back and loosen his necktie, clothes, belt, etc.
5 a. Examine the victim's pulse.
b. Examine his heartbeat bringing your ear close to his heart.
c. Examine his breathing bringing the back of your hand or your face close to
his face.
d. Check the size of the pupils of his eyes.
6 Open the victim's mouth and take out artificial teeth, cigarette or chewing
gum if any. Keep his mouth open, stretch his tongue and insert a towel or the
like in his mouth to prevent the tongue from suffocating. (If it is hard to open
his mouth due to set teeth, open it with a screwdriver and insert a towel in
this mouth.)
7 Then, wipe his mouth so that foaming mucus does not accumulate inside.
