FIRST AID IN CASE OF ELECTROCUTION
Do not touch the victim until the electrical circuit has been interrupted to make sure the person is
isolated. If this is not possible, move the victim away from the conductor by using insulated
material.
If respiration is interrupted, artificial respiration must be applied (mouth-to-mouth respiration). Lay
the patient on his back, feet elevated above the level of the head, chin up and head back.
Call a doctor urgently
In case of a mouth wound it may be necessary to apply mouth-to-nose respiration, blocking the
patient’s mouth.
In case of face wounds the need for manual artificial respiration may arise.
Push down on the chest of the prostrate patient whilst moving the patient’s arms up and out.
If the victim has also suffered burns then, without obstructing breathing, proceed as follows:
•
Do not remove clothing from burn wounds.
•
If possible gently pour cold water over wounds to relieve pain.
•
Do not use any medication.
•
Call for urgent medical assistance.
