This week the outdoor first aid will be about lightning. First of all, it is very unusual to get hit by a lightning. The risk will be increased during the afternoon, when the sun has warmed up the ground. Rising hot air lead to that vertical cumulus clouds are formed. In Sweden 15-20 person need to seek care after getting hit by a lightning. What happens with the body during a hit of a lightning? When the power pass the body, the heart stays. After a while the heart will start automatically. But if the affected even got respiratory arrest, the oxygen shortage can lead to a second heart stay, and that need to handled by professional care. This is important to know, and the reason to focus for the ones that are looking dead. This is the steps: 1. Secure to protect from another hit from lightning. 2. Check the breathing, be causes with the neck. 3. If the injured don’t breath start HLR immediately. 4. Stop bleeding, check the pulse.5. Check the consciousness, paralysis and loss of feelings may occur. 6. Check the skin, for mark from lightning. Protect against coldness, and start evacuation immediately.
