What do you do when someone passes out from drinking too much?

Answer 1

Draw on then and take photo's. Just kidding. Roll the person on their side and pull their upper leg up and put their lower arm out so that they will not roll back on to their front. Use upper arm to rest under their head. And tilt their head back to open the airway. If tongue has fallen back or they have spew in their mouth use fingers to clear it out.

Answer 2

If there is blood, clean and dress the wound as best you can. If there is a lot of blood, seek medical assistance.

If there is no blood, then I would try to apply something cold to the injured spot, to prevent swelling.

If they are very drunk I would put them to bed, or lie them in the recovery position.

When they wake, show no sympathy!

Answer 3

Treat them the same as anyone who is unconscious. Place them on their side and monitor their breathing, and call for the paramedics.

Any loss of consciousness needs to be checked, and if it is from drinking you are dealing with alcohol poisoning, which can be fatal. Remember that alcohol is a neurotoxin (nerve poison) and the human body can tolerate it, but not well.

Don't say, "Oh, he just had too much to drink." First of all, he's unconscious (see above), second, you don't KNOW what else he might have in his system. Alcohol can be fatal in combination with a whole bunch of other things.

SWELLING FROM A HEAD INJURY

If their is swelling from a head injury then you must seek professional medical advise from your GP or the hospital without delay; a swollen head injury can be representative of damage and simply MUST be checked out to be safe.

WHAT TO DOIF SOMEONE HITS THEIR HEAD

The human skull is one of the most protected area's of the human body, but that said it is also highly vulnerable to kinetic shock. (Meaning, if you bang your head it can do more damage than is apparent)

If someone bangs their head. The first thing you should do is check their level of consciousness. If that is unconscious, an ambulance must be called without delay.

If however the person is awake, it is ideal to check their alertness. A simple way to do this is to ask them their name, where they live and the last three digits of their telephone number. If the answers come quickly and clearly then the probability of any "damage" is very low.

However, if the answers are slow or slurred or if they can not answer any such basic questions as exampled above then an ambulance is required.

Once these basic questions have been asked. Place a single finger around 40cm from their face and ask the person to follow it with both eyes as you move it up, down, left and right. Then repeat the above with only one eye open. If this is done without problem then again, their is likely no damage.

The final thing is to ask if the person feels dizzy or sick. Also ask if the person has any apparent numbness in their faculties or weakness of the joints. Symptoms can represent concussion.

With any head injury it is advisable to have it checked out. However, I understand that is not always a practical step due to delays of being seen and convenience. Although officially advisable to seek medical assurance, the above steps are simple ways to ascertain if any likely hood of damage.

I hope this helps,
