| Module 3: First Aid for Fainting and Choking | In this video, first aid trainer Dr. Yahya Hazem discusses first aid for fainting. He begins by explaining the signs that appear before losing consciousness, such as dizziness, loss of focus, blurred vision, and extreme fatigue. He emphasizes that the most critical step when feeling early symptoms of fainting is to sit down and place the head between the knees. However, when finding a person who has already fainted, you must first ensure they are breathing and not bleeding, then elevate their legs by 30 centimeters to restore blood flow to the brain. If there is no breathing or pulse, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and artificial respiration must be performed. |
