Treating Shock

Shock is a serious condition most often brought about by major injury or fear. It can easily be overlooked, but if left uncared for, a victim of shock may develop serious problems.

1. Lay the victim down, on a coat or sleeping bag, if possible. Raise her feet higher than her head. Loosen her clothing, reassure her, and take her pulse.

2. Cover the victim with a coat or sleeping bag. Check her breathing and pulse rates, particularly if she is unconscious. Be ready to resuscitate her if her heart stops beating.
