First Aid in Case of Electric Shock
DO NOT TOUCH THE VICTIM WITH YOUR BARE HANDS until the circuit
is broken. SWITCH OFF. If this is not possible, PROTECT YOURSELF
with DRY insulating material and pull the victim clear of the conductor.
If breathing has stopped, indicated by unconsciousness, lack of
respiratory movements and a ‘blue’ look to cheeks, lips, ears and
nails, START RESUSCITATION AT ONCE.
EMERGENCY RESUSCITATION – THE EXPIRED AIR METHOD
(Approved by the Royal Life Saving Society)
1. If possible, lie the victim on his back with his head slightly
higher than his feet. Clear the mouth and throat of any obvious
obstruction.
2. Kneel on one side of the victim, level with his head. LIFT THE
JAW AND TILT THE HEAD BACK AS FAR AS POSSIBLE (Figs. 1a
and 1b)
3. One of the following may happen:
a) Breathing may begin and consciousness returns.
b) Breathing may begin but consciousness NOT
returns. Turn the victim on his side and ensure
that the airway is kept clear.
c) Breathing may return but be NOISY which
means that the airway is not fully clear. Try to
clear the airway.
4. IF THERE NO SIGN OF BREATHING:
a) Check that the head is still tilted back.
b) Take a deep breath.
c) Pinch the victim’s nose and blow firmly into his
mouth (Fig. 2). As you do, the chest will RISE.
d) Turn your head away and take another breath,
watching for the chest to FALL (Fig. 3).
5. Start with four quick breaths and then continue with
one breath every five seconds (i.e. 12 times a minute).
This should be continued until the victim revives or a
doctor certifies death.
6. As consciousness returns the victim will start to
breathe on his own, and a ‘pink’ color replaces the
‘blue’ look: this is the time to stop resuscitation.
Continue to hold his chin up and so keep the airway clear.
