So, answering the question: how to behave with the person who just hit with an electric current - the first thing that should be done is the rejection of the source of the current from the victim. If you do not do this, then the victim will continue to be electrocuted, and the condition will gradually be suppressed, and besides, you yourself can be electrocuted by touching the victim. It is necessary to pull the victim from the source of current, it is better to do this, taking him by the dry part of his clothes or wrapping his hands with a dry cloth. After the victim is isolated from the current source, you need to feel his pulse and check for breathing. Pulse is palpated best on the wrist joint on the side of the thumb. Three fingers press the radial artery to the bone, and any of the fingers you will feel a ripple. Similarly, pulsation can be determined on the common carotid arteries, on the frontal and temporal arteries, on the arteries of the thigh, arteries in the popliteal cavity, on the arteries of the foot between the toes. The presence of breathing can be determined by directly listening, that is, putting an ear to the mouth or nose of the victim, putting a hand on the chest (female respiration type) or on the stomach (male respiration type). If breathing is not audible and the activity of the respiratory muscles is small, then you can attach a mirror to your mouth or nose, or for example a phone screen, if the glass is fogged, there is respiration. In the absence of respiratory movements and pulse, immediate resuscitation should be performed. The most important measures are mechanical ventilation (artificial ventilation) and indirect heart massage.
Let's begin with the artificial ventilation of the lungs and consider it as an artificial ventilation by the donor method. The method is not physically difficult, but it is psychologically complex. It is necessary to overcome all fears for the sake of saving human life. The first thing that needs to be done is to give the patient a supine position and first laying a roller, you can even from clothes, at the level of the shoulder blades under your back and throw the victim's head back as far back as possible. Then immediately and quickly examine the oral cavity. If there is a spasm of the chewing muscles, that is, the lower jaw does not drop, you need to use the improvised items: keys, screwdriver, stick, rod from the handle and so on. Now you should examine the oral cavity of the victim for mucus or vomit, which you must remove with your index finger, which is wound around, for example, a handkerchief. If his tongue fades to the palate, then you need to turn it with the same finger. Next, you yourself need to become on the right side of the victim. With your left hand, you hold the victim's head and at the same time clamp her nasal passages. Lower jaw you push with your right hand forward and to the top. Well, then take a deep breath, and tightly grasping the mouth of the victim with his lips, exhale. For hygienic reasons, you can cover the victim's mouth with a clean cloth.
Indirect massage of the heart. It is performed with the purpose of restoring the functions of the heart to maintain its functioning and restoring continuous blood flow. In our case, cardiac arrest is sudden. Symptoms that accompany this condition - this blanching of the skin, a sharp loss of consciousness, at first the pulse is threadlike, and then not at all palpable, that is, disappears when palpation on the carotid arteries, stopping breathing, dilating the pupils. Indirect massage of the heart is based on the fact that when the chest is squeezed in front, the very heart that is located between the spine and the breastbone is squeezed, and when squeezed, the blood accumulated in the heart is accelerated through the vessels, and when the heart is stretched, venous blood enters it. A more effective massage is one that was started slowly. The effectiveness of indirect heart massage can be determined by three factors: independent breaths, narrowing of the pupils of the affected person and the appearance of pulsation on the common carotid arteries in time with the produced massage. The hands of the person who massages should be positioned correctly (one palm rest on the xiphoid process, the other palm covers the rear of the first and the fingers are raised when massaged, so as not to squeeze the chest). Hands with massage should be straightened. The person who produces the massage must stand high enough to exert pressure not only with his hands, but with the whole body. The force of pressure on the chest should be very large, so that the sternum should be displaced 5 cm to the spine. That massage should be observed so that in a minute to produce at least 60 strokes. If resuscitation is carried out by one person, then he should do 60 strokes per minute and 8 breaths per minute. If two people carry out resuscitation, then one person does 5 clicks, another every 5 strokes does a powerful inspiration and so 12 cycles per minute. In the event that, with artificial ventilation of the lungs, air enters not into the lungs but into the stomach, one must press on the epigastric region to ensure that the air leaves the stomach and does not impede resuscitation. Time of resuscitation to restore the function of the heart and breathing should not be less than 30 minutes before the arrival of an ambulance.
