The doctor called a competent procedure with the help of a fainted person

Competent procedure for helping a fainted person in a radio interview Sputnik named ambulance doctor Mikhail Konevsky.

“If a person becomes ill before your eyes, you should try to catch him so that he does not hit, and then carefully put him down. In no case should you plant the victim, ”the specialist said. Konevsky noted that in this case it is necessary to raise the legs above the level of the head of the fainted person, so that the blood rushes to his head.

If someone has ammonia, you need to bring it to the nose of the unconscious person, but in no case should you give him nitroglycerin – this drug sharply lowers blood pressure, and when you faint, the pressure can be lowered anyway, the person may begin to vomit the doctor continued. “His belt, tie and collar should be loosened, as any tight clothing can impede circulation,” he added. Konevsky urged not to hesitate to call an ambulance: only doctors will be able to correctly assess the condition of the victim.
