ELECTRIC SHOCK, ETC
Categories:
Accidents, Emergencies and Poisons
In suffocation by smoke or any poisonous gas, as
also by hanging if the neck is not broken, and in suspended breathing from
effects of chloroform, hydrate of chloral, or electric shock, remove all
obstructions to breathing, instantly loosen or cut apart all neck and
waist bands, taking special pains to keep the head very low, and placing
the body face downward, to prevent closure of the windpipe by the tongue
falling back. Then proceed to induce artificial respiration the same as in
drowning, described above.
