The following measures and treatments should be taken when a person is exposed to electric shock:
1. Do not panic. The person who has been electrocuted should be removed from the electrified body immediately, and the rescuer should pay attention to his own safety.
2. Immediately cut off the power switch or use insulated pliers to cut off the power cord.
3. If there is no time to cut off the power supply, rescuers can use dry insulators (such as dry clothes, gloves, ropes, wooden boards, etc.) to pull away the live objects.
4. When the person who gets an electric shock is holding on to the electric current, you can use a dry wooden tool to cut off the power supply, or insert an insulator such as a wooden board under the person who gets an electric shock to cut off the power supply.
5. After the person who receives an electric shock is disconnected from the power supply, he or she must prevent falling injuries, especially when working at heights.
6. After the electric shock victim is disconnected from the power supply, rescue should be carried out on site as much as possible.
7. If the person who gets an electric shock loses consciousness, but his heart is still beating and he is breathing weakly, he should lie down comfortably on his back. No people should be around him, and the air should be kept open. Untie the top of the person who gets an electric shock to facilitate breathing, and rub the whole body to make it warm (keep warm in winter).
8. If an electric shock victim is found to have difficulty breathing, cramps, nausea, or even no heart beating or respiratory arrest, artificial respiration should be performed immediately and a doctor should be consulted as soon as possible.
Electric shock is a common name for electric injury. It usually refers to tissue damage and dysfunction caused when the human body directly touches the power source or when high-voltage electricity passes through the air or other conductive media and current passes through the human body. In severe cases, heartbeat and breathing may occur. sudden stop. High voltage electricity exceeding 1000V (volts) can also cause burns. Lightning damage (lightning strike) belongs to the category of high-voltage electrical damage.
