One of the most dangerous and at the same time common injuries threatening our health, consider electric shock. Electric worm can get each - you do not need to be an electrician, builder or repairman. Electricity so long and firmly entered our life that even children are subject to danger. How to give first aid to a person who has become a victim of electric current impact?
Risk zone
Danger towes us everywhere where there is electricity: indoors, on the street, in trolleybus or electric train. On the street, it is necessary to avoid breaks of an electric cable that is in close proximity to you, and the houses are very dangerous to neighboring the old, poorly insulated wiring. Also need to remember the rules of safety when handling electrical devices and enter their children. In electrical transport, poor-quality isolation or interruption of electricity can cause the current damage to the current.
Features of the effect of electric current on the body
Not only, after hitting the current at the place of the defeat, there is baked skin, which in some cases requires serious treatment, the cardiovascular system of the body suffers from electrical injury. How to explain it?
The contractile activity of the heart muscle is based on the active work of the nerve cells, the so-called dipoles that transmit to each other electrical discharges, forcing the heart rhythmically shrink. When the human body pierces the electrical discharge, the slim chain of the transmission of the nerve pulses collapses, which is a direct threat to normal heart rhythm. Electric shock - reason for immediate hospitalization of the victim.
How to reanimate the victim by the cardiovascular method.
Owning an artificial respiratory technique and an indirect heart massage will help you into a responsible moment: thanks to this ability, you do not allow the head brain of the victim to experience oxygen starvation. Need actions must be determined: it is important not to miss a single minute!
In the movement of the chest, try to determine whether a person breathes. However, with very weak breath, breasts practically does not move, how to be? Apply to the lips of the affected mirror: there is a breath if the glass is fucked. For the absence of mirrors, you can use a piece of ordinary glass or bring to the lips of the man with the palm of the back side.
Heart work is determined by the pulse. In such an emergency, as an electric shock, do not lose an invaluable time in search of a pulsating wreath on the wrist: sometimes she does not do, but it does not mean that the heart is not beating! Apply your fingers immediately to the carotid artery. If you do not feel ripples, immediately go to indirect heart massage.
Artificial respiration, as a rule, do «Mouth in Roth». Put your hand with a palm down on the forehead of a man, closing his nose with his fingers, place another hand under the neck. Now dial the full light air and, tightly pressing your mouth to the mouth of the victim, make a strong exhalation. Certainly pay attention to the chest and the belly of a person: if the chest raises, it means that you did everything right. However, if moving, rising, belly, air jet hit the stomach, and not in the lungs. Stop at some time to perform artificial respiration so that the air freely leave the stomach of the victim. Keep in mind that if the contents of the stomach come out with the air, the mouth of a person needs to immediately clear up so that he does not choose this mass. Now try everything first, watching the air filled with air. Produce respiratory movements Try no less than 15 - 20 times per minute.
If a person does not have respiration, then the heart does not work. In this situation, you need to make an indirect heart massage. Mandatory condition for the implementation of the procedure - level and solid surface under the false victim. Estate his breasts embarrassing his chest and place both palms on his chest so that they are 2 - 3 fingers above the area where the pair of lower edges are connected. The location of one palm is vertical, and the second is horizontal. Make a sharp adequate movement to the sternum of a person, at the same time it should go down to 4 - 5 cm. Your elbows during manipulation must be straight. Do not be afraid that you will break the victim of the rib - this doubt is often preventing the impermanent head massage as needed. Click on the sternum you need 1 time in 1 second, that is, there must be 60 clicks in 1 minute.
If the victim of the electric shock has come to himself, give a person to drink plenty. Drink (not coffee and not alcohol) should be room temperature.
- Purchase / carry a person from the lesion zone - you need to interrupt the electrical chain. If it is still under the influence of electric current, in no case do not touch it «naked» Hands, otherwise, themselves will be a victim of impact. It is necessary, first of all, de-energize the network (for example, turn off the device or machine, unscrew the plugs) or discard from the victim bare wiring. For this, a dry branch is suitable, a tube of thick paper or plastic. These devices will not be needed if there are rubber gloves at hand: wear them and drag the victim from the voltage source;
- Ensure full of peace of the victim. Place it on a flat solid surface, check that around there is no big cluster of people who could cause an excitement in humans. Open all windows in the room - fresh air is needed now to be affected than ever;
- Get off the wounds. Treat the affected areas on the injury body. To do this, use a wool, impregnated with alcohol or potassium permanganate solution («Manganese»). After that, protect the wound with a bandage, moistened with 0.01% fuclinium solution;
- Remote psychological support. Speak with a person a simple encouraging voice, drink it with warm sweet tea, give a light painkiller (for example, an Analgin tablet), if the victim says he hurts.
How many in the life of various unforeseen situations that can happen with each of us. Remember that from your ability to provide first help to those who need it can save a person from death. Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
