Rescue for electric shock should be done quickly and the rescue done properly. Do not panic and be helpless. It is necessary to implement the eight-character policy of "quick, on-site, correct, and persistent" for electric shock first aid. If someone is found to have been electrocuted, the first thing to do is to remove the electrocuted person from the power source as soon as possible, and then provide symptomatic rescue according to the specific symptoms of the electrocuted person.
1. The basic methods to disconnect from the power supply are:
1. Pull off the power switch blade or unplug the power plug to cut off the power supply.
2. Use dry insulating wooden sticks, bamboo poles, cloth tapes, etc. to pull the power cord away from the person who got the electric shock or pull the person who got the electric shock away from the power source.
3. If necessary, use insulated tools (such as electrician's pliers with insulated handles, wooden-handled axes, and hoes) to cut off the power cord.
4. The rescuer can wear gloves or wrap dry clothes, scarves, hats and other insulating items on his hands to drag the person who gets an electric shock away from the power source.
5. If the electric shock victim has his hands wrapped around his body due to spasm, the rescuer should first stuff a dry wooden board under the electric shock victim to insulate it from the ground to block the ground current, and then take other measures to remove the electric shock. Power is cut off.
6. If the person who receives an electric shock touches a live high-voltage wire that has been broken on the ground, and the line has not been confirmed to be without power, rescuers are not allowed to enter within 8 to 10 meters of the broken point to prevent step voltage. Electric shock. Rescue personnel entering this area should wear insulating boots or temporarily jump with their feet together to approach the person who received an electric shock. After the person who gets an electric shock is separated from the live wire, he should be quickly taken 8 to 10 meters away and start emergency first aid immediately. Only after it is confirmed that the line is de-energized can first aid be given on the spot after the person who has been electrocuted leaves the electric shock conductor.
2 Things to note when removing an electric shock victim from the power supply:
1. Before insulation measures are taken, the rescuer shall not directly touch the skin or wet clothes of the electric shock victim.
2. It is strictly forbidden for rescuers to push, pull or touch the person who receives an electric shock directly with their hands. Rescuers are not allowed to use metal or other objects with poor insulation properties (such as wet wooden sticks, cloth tapes, etc.) as rescue tools.
3. During the process of pulling the electrocuted person away from the power source, the rescuer should operate with one hand, which is safer for the rescuer.
When the person who gets an electric shock is at a high position, measures should be taken to prevent the person who gets an electric shock from falling to the ground and being injured or killed (secondary injury from electric shock).
4. When an electric shock accident occurs at night, temporary lighting after cutting off the power supply should be considered to facilitate rescue.
Third rescue measures for an electric shock victim who has not lost consciousness:
1. The electric shock victim should be allowed to lie down and rest quietly in a relatively dry, ventilated and warm place, and someone should be sent to observe closely. At the same time, please The doctor comes or is sent to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
2. Rescue measures for an electrocuted person who has lost consciousness but still has a heartbeat and breathing: Make him or her lie down comfortably, unbutton his clothes to facilitate breathing, do not surround him with people, keep the air flowing, and in cold weather should Keep warm and ask a doctor immediately or send him to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. If an electric shock victim is found to have difficulty breathing or an abnormal heartbeat, artificial respiration and external chest heart compression should be implemented immediately.
Four first aid measures for those who “suspended death”:
Clear the airway. First, remove foreign objects in the mouth. Make the electrocuted person lie on his back on a flat and hard place and quickly unbutton his collar, scarf, tights and trousers. If you find food, dentures, blood clots and other foreign objects in the mouth of the person who received an electric shock, you can turn your body and head sideways at the same time, quickly insert one or two fingers crossed from the corner of the mouth, and take out the foreign object from the mouth. Pay attention to precautions during the operation. Push the foreign object deep into the throat. Second, use the head-up and cheek-lift method to clear the airway. During the operation, the rescuer puts one hand on the forehead of the person who received an electric shock, lifts the mandibular bone upwards with the fingers of the other hand, and pushes the head back with both hands. The base of the tongue will naturally be raised, and the airway will be opened. Can be unblocked. In order to make the head of the person who gets an electric shock tilt back, an object of appropriate thickness can be placed under the neck. However, it is strictly forbidden to use pillows or other objects to cushion the head of the person who gets an electric shock.
2. Mouth-to-mouth (nose) artificial respiration. Make the patient lie on his back, loosen clothes buttons and belts, remove sputum, vomit, blood clots, soil, etc. from the injured person's mouth to keep the respiratory tract open. The rescuer holds the injured man's chin up with one hand and tilts his head as far back as possible. He pinches the injured person's nostril with the other hand, takes a deep breath, blows hard into the injured person's mouth, and then immediately leaves the injured person's mouth. At the same time, release the hand pinching your nostrils. The blowing force should be moderate, and the number of blows should be 16-18 times per minute.
3. External chest cardiac compression: Lie the injured person supine on the ground or a hard bed. The ambulance personnel kneels or stands on the side of the injured person, facing the injured person, and places the right palm on the lower part of the injured person's sternum. and the xiphoid process, place your left hand on top of your right hand, use the weight of your upper body to press the lower sternum back toward the spine, then relax your wrist and squeeze 60-80 times per minute. When performing external chest cardiac compressions, the injured person's head should be lowered to facilitate venous blood return. If the injured person stops breathing at the same time, artificial respiration should also be performed while performing chest cardiac compressions. Generally, four chest heart compressions are performed and one artificial respiration is performed.
