How to provide first emergency assistance to a person who has fallen under the power

We already know that there is no electricity no color, no odor. It is impossible to see and understand that it generally is exactly to the point as you do not touch the parts of the equipment or wires under voltage. In this article we will look at the main algorithm of actions, if you find that the person has come under strain.

Man alive, what to do?

Attention. If you have no idea how to provide first aid and also far from the electricity, the only true solution is to call the emergency services and tell all professionals. And then wait for their arrival at the same time not allowing close onlookers and warning them of the danger! If you own a first-aid skills, then refresh theoretical knowledge by reading the article will not be superfluous!

The most important thing in this situation is not to panic. Be sure to carefully inspect the distance. If this had happened in the street, and you see that far from the transmission tower is a person, be sure to find the eyes of a fallen wire.

So, you found it, and it is very close to the victim or even on it. The next step you need to remove the wire. To get this long dry stick (preferably of length not less than 4 m) and via its drop wire.

In no case do not try to grab his hand.

You threw the wire as far as possible, we can now approach the man and pull him away from power lines.

Mandatory next step is to call to the emergency services and you need to quickly and tell in detail what happened and where you are.

The third step is to check the condition of the victim. If the person is conscious, give it a reclined state, and give plenty of drink. And wait for the arrival of an ambulance.

The person is unconscious

So, you came to the man, and he was unconscious. First of all check the pulse. If it is, the more need to turn the victim onto his stomach, purify his airways. Then, it is necessary to attach the cold head (e.g., a bottle with cold water). If there is a wound, then apply the bonnets on them and wait for the ambulance or rescue.

Now consider the most complicated case. You have freed man from the current checked his condition and found that it's out (pupil of the eye in no way responds to light) on the carotid artery is not palpable pulse. You need to start CPR, namely chest compressions.

To do this, two fingers clasped together, cover the solar plexus. And struck with a closed fist on the sternum.

After that, should start chest compressions by punching the chest by 3-5 cm.

And the number of taps on the chest should be 15 and the number two breaths of mouth to do the system in the mouth.

Continue CPR is necessary until the arrival of the ambulance or rescue.

Now let's consider the case of electric shock inside. This usually occurs because of the bare hand touch a conductive portion of the conductor that is currently energized.

In this case, the hand muscles are reduced and people instinctively grasps the wire.

In these cases, you need to act as if there is close to the ax, then take it and pererubaet wires for which the victim is held.

If not, then take a stick and use it to knock out of the hands of man is holding. Remember! It is better to break a couple of fingers or even a hand, than to give the person killed.

So, you have freed man from the current. Now, as should begin CPR, these should be described in detail above.

Here you follow these steps, if you have witnessed the destruction of the electric current.
