What Should You Do When Someone Faints?

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE FAINTS ? 

Dr. Nguyen Thanh Nam

Fainting is usually caused by changes in circulatory and nervous systems that cause a drop in the amount of blood, sugar or oxygen that reaches the brain.

Something need to do:

• Lie the person on his or her back and make sure they are breathing. If possible, lift the person’s legs above heart level to aid blood flow to the brain.
• Loosen all constrictive clothing such as collars or belts.
• If the person is not breathing, start CPR. Get someone to call 115 AND continue with CPR until help arrives.
• When the person regains consciousness, allow them to rest rather than sitting or getting up immediately.
• If they are diabetic and have missed a meal, giving them a hard candy or sweet to suck on will help raise their blood sugar levels.
• Make sure the person who has fainted isn’t jerking or having unusual muscle spasms as this can indicate fitting.

Something not to do:

• Slap someone who has fainted
•  Shake someone who was fainted
•  Throw water on them
•  Shout at them
•  Attempt to move them
•  Place a pillow under their head
•  Make them sit or stand up
