How to get first aid in case of electric shock?
With the development of society, the application of electric energy is more and more extensive, and electric energy has become an indispensable energy in human daily life and production operations, but the vast majority of people lack awareness of electricity. There is also a lack of rationality in the use of electrical energy, lines, and electrical equipment. Although electrical energy is an indispensable energy for human beings, improper use will cause electrical fires and electric shocks, which may endanger personal safety.
What rescue measures should be taken in case of electric shock
In the event of an electric shock, while ensuring the safety of the rescuer itself, you must first try to make the electric shocker quickly disconnect from the power supply, and then perform the following rescue work.
- Unfasten tight clothing that prevents the electric shock person from breathing.
- Check the oral cavity of the shocked person, clean up the mucus in the oral cavity, and remove any dentures.
- Rescue immediately on site. If breathing stops, use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If the heart stops beating or irregularly vibrates, artificial chest compression can be used. Never interrupt without cause.
If a second person is present besides the rescuer on the scene, the following work should also be performed immediately:
- Provide tools and equipment for first aid.
- Dismiss the on-site miscellaneous personnel.
- Maintain sufficient lighting and air circulation on site.
- Ask the doctor to come to the rescue.
Experimental research and statistics show that if you start treatment 1 minute after the electric shock, 90% can be saved; if you start rescue 6 minutes after the electric shock, there is only 10% chance of survival; and from 12 minutes after the electric shock, rescue The possibility of saving lives is extremely small. Therefore, when someone is found to be electrocuted, they should compete against each other and use all possible methods.
