1. If the injured person who is electrocuted is conscious, he should lie down on the spot and be closely monitored. Do not stand or move around for the time being.
2. If the person who is electrocuted is unconscious, he should lie on his back on the spot to ensure that the airway is unobstructed, and call the injured person or tap his shoulder at intervals of 5 seconds to determine whether the injured person has lost consciousness. It is prohibited to move the injured person's head to call the injured person. Insist on correct rescue on the spot and contact the hospital for rescue as soon as possible.
Processing method:
Patients after simple diagnosis can generally be treated according to the following situations:
(1) The patient is conscious but feels Fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, cold sweats, and even nausea or vomiting. Such patients should rest quietly on the spot to reduce the burden on the heart and speed up recovery; in serious cases, they should be sent to the medical department carefully and ask medical staff for examination and treatment.
(2) The patient’s breathing and heartbeat are still there, but he is unconscious. At this time, the patient should be placed on his back, the surrounding air should be circulated, and attention should be paid to keeping warm. In addition to close observation, preparations must be made for artificial respiration and cardiac compression, and the medical department should be notified immediately or the patient should be sent to the hospital on a stretcher. On the way to the hospital, pay attention to whether the patient suddenly appears "suspended death". If there is suspended animation, rescue him immediately.
(3) If the patient is found to be in a state of suspended animation after examination, symptomatic treatment for different types of "suspended animation" should be carried out immediately. If the heart has stopped, use extracorporeal artificial heart compression to maintain blood circulation; if breathing has stopped, use mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration to maintain gas exchange. When breathing and heartbeat all stop, it is necessary to perform extracorporeal heart compression and mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration at the same time, and at the same time seek emergency help from the hospital. During the rescue process, the rescue work cannot be suspended at any time. Even on the way to the hospital, rescue must be continued until the heartbeat and breathing recover.
Treatment of electrical burns and other injuries:
During high-voltage electric shock (above 1,000 volts), the temperature of the electricity between the two electrodes can be as high as 1,000-4,000 degrees Celsius, and the contact can cause extensive damage. Severe burns often reach deep into the bones and are more complicated to deal with. During on-site rescue, clean cloth or paper should be used for bandaging to reduce contamination and facilitate future treatment. Other injuries such as concussions, fractures, etc. should be treated accordingly with reference to trauma first aid. On-site rescue often takes a long time and cannot be interrupted. You must persist. After a long period of rescue, the complexion of the electrocuted patient improves, the lips are flushed, the pupils are constricted, the limbs move, and the heartbeat and breathing return to normal. At this time, you can pause for a few seconds for observation. Sometimes the electrocuted patient is revived. If the normal heartbeat and breathing cannot be maintained, the rescue must continue. Never give up hastily and persist until medical personnel arrive at the scene to take over the rescue. In short, the occurrence of electric shock accidents is always bad. We should focus on prevention, start to eliminate the causes of accidents, prevent accidents from happening, publicize the knowledge of safe use of electricity, and publicize the knowledge of on-site first aid for electric shock. Then, not only can we prevent accidents Otherwise, if an electric shock accident occurs, correct and timely rescue can be carried out, which will definitely save many lives.
