Shock

What is Shock?

Shock (life-threatening condition that occurs when the organs of the body don’t get enough blood and oxygen. This can cause serious organ damage and lead to death.)

This can be caused by heart attack, bleeding, heat emergencies, infection, allergic reaction, trauma.

Keep the body temperature as normal as possible. Place a blanket over the body and lie flat on the floor. This will help to improve blood flow to the brain and vital organs.  Don’t give anything to drink, as it may increase vomiting and aspiration.

Call 911 and stay with the victim until emergency help arrives.
