SHOCK TREATMENT
If the blood in your body does not circulate properly it may result in shock. Any seri-
ous injury or illness may lead to shock. When a person is in shock blood does not
carry enough oxygen and food to the brain and other organs.
A victim who suffers from shock may look afraid, confused, weak and be extremely
thirsty. The skin appears pale and feels cold. Pulse and breathing are fast.
To treat shock, place the victim on his or her back and raise the legs a little. Warm the victim by putting blan-
kets around them.
