First Aid For Heart Attack Victims by damiloladuke: 8:58am On May 18, 2015 |
If you think someone is having a heart attack, look for the four Ps: 1. Pain – a continuous pain in the chest, which could spread to the jaw, neck or arms 2. Pale skin 3. Rapid and weak pulse 4. Perspiration/sweating WHAT YOU NEED TO DO Call 999 or 112 medical help and say you think someone is having a heart attack. **Then, help move them into the most comfortable position. The best position is on the floor leaning against a wall with knees bent and head and shoulders supported. This should ease the pressure on their heart and stop them hurting themselves if they collapse. **Give them a 300mg aspirin, if available and they're not allergic, and tell them to chew it slowly. **Be aware that they may develop shock. Shock does not mean emotional shock, but is a life-threatening condition, which can be brought on by a heart attack. **Keep checking their breathing, pulse and level of response. FORWARD THIS TO FRIENDS, YOU MIGHT BE SAVING A LIFE. www.teamcrea8.com |
