19．How to Treat a Victim of an Electric Shock
Electric shock accidents are caused by an electric current from a mechanical source passing through the body．The effects from a shock can be anything from pain to instant death．（36）E
Steps：
※1．Do not put yourself in danger．If the victim is still in contact with the electric current，you must be careful to avoid being shocked yourself．（37）D
※2．Break the current．Before you can do anything else，you must get the victim free from the current．There are two ways to do this：
（38）CTurn off the current at the circuit breaker or fuse（保险丝）box．This is the preferred action．
If no shut-off is immediately available，use a non-conducting item to move the victim，such as a wooden stick，blanket，or rope．If they are holding onto a wire or other conductor，attempt to knock their hand （s） free with a stick or dry towel．
※3．（39）B Make certain to report that the victim is suffering from an electric shock； tell the operator to request that any responding police have an AED（Automatic External Defibrilator 自动体外除颤器）available．Also tell the operator if you have not been able to remove or disable the source of electricity．
※4．If the victim is unconscious，check to see if they are breathing and have a pulse．Electric shocks may knock the person unconscious and stop the heart．
※5．（40）F Other injuries may have occurred that you are unaware of due to the movement．
※6．Cover the victim in a blanket and stay with them until help arrives．Do not leave them alone．Take steps to prevent or lessen the degree of hurt from the shock．
A．Wait for help to arrive．
B．Call for emergency assistance．
C．Shut off the current at the poser box．
D．You cannot help if you become a victim，too．
E．Knowing what to do in case of an electric shock could save a life．
F．Do not attempt to move the victim unless they are in further danger．
G．In the process of treating the victim，one will need to obtain water or ice for cooling purposes．
