Method of First-Aid Treatment
Precautions for First-Aid Treatments
Apply artificial respiration to the person who collapsed, minimising moving as much as
possible avoiding risks. Once started, artificial respiration should be continued
rhythmically.
(1) Refrain from touching the patient carelessly as a resultof the accident; the
first-aider could suffer from electrical shocks by himself or herself.
(2) Turn off the power calmly and certainly, and move the patient apart from the cable
gently.
(3) Call or send for a physician or ambulance immediately, or ask someone to call
doctor.
(4) Lay the patient on the back, loosening the necktie, clothes, belts and so on.
(5) (a) Feel the patient's pulse.
(b) Check the heartbeat by bringing your ear close to the patient's heart.
(c) Check for respiration by bringing your face or the back of your hand to the
patient's face.
(d) Check the size of patient's pupils.
(6) Opening the patient's mouth, remove artificial teeth, cigarettes, chewing gum, etc.
if any. With the patient's mouth open, stretch the tongue and insert a towel or the
like into the mouth to prevent the tongue from being withdrawn into the throat. (If
the patient clenches the teeth so tight that the mouth won't open, use a screwdriver
or the like to force the mouth open and then insert a towel or the like into the
mouth.)
(7) Wipe off the mouth to prevent foaming mucus and saliva from accumulating.
