FIRST

AID

IN

CASE

OF

ELECTRIC

SHOCK

EXHALED

AIR

METHOD

1.

SWITCH

OFF.

If

this

is

not

possible,

PROTECT

YOURSELF

with

dry

insulating

material

and

pull

the

victim

clear

of

the

conductor.

DON'T

TOUCH

THE

VICTIM

WITH

YOUR

BARE

HANDS until

he

is

clear

of

the

conductor,

but

DON'T

WASTE

TIME.

2.

(а)

Lay

the

patient

on

his

back.

Quickly

loosen

waist

band

and

clothing

round

neck.

If

his

mouth

is

open,

sweep

a

finger

through

his

mouth

to

с1еаг

obstruction

and

remove

loose

dentures.

(b)

Lift

the

head

and

tilt

the

head

backwards

by

putting

one

hand

underneath

the

neck

and

the

other

on

the

crown

of

the

head.

(c)

Hold

the

head

tilted

as

far

back

as

possible

and

lift

up

the

jaw

firmly,

closing

the

lips.

This

keeps

the

victim's

airway

clear

by

straightening

the

breathing

passage.

Take

a

deep

breath.

Open

your

mouth

as

wide

as

you

can.

Seal

your

lips

on

the

victim's

cheeks

around

his

nose.

Blow

air

into

his

nose

until

you

see

the

зћевћ

rise

(inspiration).
