TREATMENT OF THE DROWNED, SUFFOCATED OR ELECTRICALLY SHOCKED

Categories: Accidents, Emergencies and Poisons

The one action of first importance in the treatment of the drowned,

the suffocated or the electrically shocked is to restore breathing. This

must be done by expelling from the lungs the poison or water which has

caused the trouble, and by establishing artificial respiration. Avoid

delay. One moment may lose or save a life.
