Emergency health complications are part and puzzle of our day to day lives. However, while attending to some health emergencies such as accident casualties, cuts and fractures is a bit easy, heart attacks pose a great challenge to those present at the scene when someone suffers a heart attack.
In most cases, calling an ambulance is considered to be the only option by many people, but in the real sense, a minute spent attending to a heart attack victim may be worthier than trying to rush the victim to the nearest health center.
How to Attend to a Heart Attack Victim:
1. When a seizure occurs, the main goal is to protect the person from injury. Try to prevent a fall by laying the person on the ground in a safe area. The area should be cleared of furniture or other sharp objects.
2. Cushion the person's head.
3. Loosen tight clothing, especially around the neck.
4. The person should be turned on his or her side in case vomiting occurs. This keeps the vomit from being inhaled into the lungs.
5. Look for a medical I.D. bracelet with seizure instructions.
6. Stay with the person until help arrives. Meanwhile, monitor the person's vital signs (pulse, rate of breathing).
