First aid -- Electric shock/Electrocution
The danger from an electrical shock depends on the type of current, how high the voltage is,
how the current traveled through the body,
the person's overall health and how quickly the person is treated.
Don't touch the injured person if he or she is still in contact with the electrical current.
Turn off the source of electricity, if possible. If not, move the source away from you and the person, using a dry, nonconducting object made of cardboard, plastic or wood.
Begin CPR if the person shows no signs of circulation, such as breathing, coughing or movement
1. Check the person's airway, breathing, and pulse.
2. push hard and fast on the center of the victim's chest.
3. tilt the victim's head back an lift the chin to open air way.
4. give mouth to mouth rescue breaths.
See a doctor immediately.
