When your friends, relatives, or even passersby suddenly faint like in the above situation, it is not a rare occurrence in our daily life. In this situation, not everyone is calm enough to handle the situation. The following are instructions<\/span> on first aid steps to handle fainting and examples of mistakes that can negatively affect the victim.<\/p>\n

Usually, fainting has many causes and the cause needs to be diagnosed by a doctor for long-term treatment. However, we need to give the victim first aid.<\/p>\n

Firstly, if they faint on the table, two people should help them to lie flat so blood can more easily reach the brain. Once they lie flat, begin to take their pulse by using two fingers: the index finger and the middle finger. Position your two fingers on the wrist from the thumb down and press, checking to feel the pulse. See if the pulse rate is too fast or too slow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the case of a fast pulse rate<\/h1>\n

Our normal heart rate is about 60 to 90 beats per minute. If the pulse is too fast, this could be a life-threatening shock. We must immediately call an ambulance because it can take 15 – 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. We still let the victim lie down and observe their breathing.<\/p>\n

\"Place

Place the victim in a side-lying position, which is the recovery position.<\/p><\/div>\n

If during that time, the victim is still unconscious, we must put them in the recovery position so that if any fluids from the body spill out, they will flow to the ground and not block the airway. If the victim wakes up immediately, we need to lean them over while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.<\/p>\n

In the case of a slow pulse rate<\/h1>\n

In some cases, it’s because of emotions or because they fasted last night, stayed up late, etc. which can cause temporary fainting, and we will see a slow pulse. At this point, you can let the victim lie down, usually after a while they will wake up and it is not necessary to call an ambulance. When they wake up, they may be tired, so we should take them to the hospital to check the cause of their condition.<\/p>\n

If we let the victim lie down for about 1-2 minutes and they still do not wake up, then we should call an ambulance.<\/p>\n
