First Aid Bites & A Quick Update


What to do when someone is in shock/fainting?

*Note: DO NOT stop the person from falling, help him/her fall slowly. If there is a crowd around, get them to spread out to give the casualty some air.
  • The person must lie on their back - preferably with their feet raised - to ensure enough blood gets to the brain.

  • Make sure the person is warm, comfortable and covered by a blanket if possible. Loosen restrictive clothing. (such as: ties, shoes, watch etc.)

  • Do not give them anything to drink because they could run a risk of choking.

  • If the person vomits or bleeds from the mouth, he or she must be placed on their side to prevent choking. (aka: recovery position)

  • The person should recover from it after a few minutes. If not, seek help immediately.
