✩ 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 certainly 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 his 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, close his mouth so that foaming mucus does not accumulate inside.
