A2. Number one is to eliminate the source of electrical current. Otherwise the rescuer may also become a victim.
Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), breathing should be commenced and maintained until signs of life have returned. LEARN THIS THIS MONTH!
[Eve's Rocking Method is a less known technique that has a wide application. This may be performed - atop a ladder on a power pole; whilst a drowning victim is still in shallow water or in a lifeboat; and is useful for victims suffering severe facial damage.
It consists of holding the victim face down (so they may drain) and rotating them (along the length of their body) through +/- 45 degrees in a rocking manner. It is easier if the victim can be placed on a plank or ladder, but two people may support the victim on their arms. Repeat 10 or 12 times per minute.
(Up a power pole, the victim will usually be wearing a safety belt, so rotation is easy.)
This method uses the fluid mass of the stomach etc to actively push and pull the diaphragm and thus the lungs.
It also assures that there is a forcible drive-and-evacuation of blood to the heart/brain system.
For a tiny child, this can be done in your arms. As I have had to prove.]

Is an AED used to check heart palpitations?
An AED is used to analyze the rhythm of the heart and determine whether it would be beneficial to the victim to administer electric shock. A conscious person suffering from minor heart palpitations will not get any benefit from an AED because you cannot administer electric shock to a conscious patient and the AED will simply tell you (at the end of its analysis) that "shock is not advised."
The two shock boundaries are?
