Why do you elevate a victims leg for shock?
Elevating a victim's legs during shock helps improve blood circulation to vital organs by promoting venous return to the heart. This position can increase blood flow to the brain and other critical areas, potentially stabilizing the victim's condition. Additionally, it can help reduce swelling in the lower extremities, which may occur due to fluid pooling. However, it's important to monitor the victim closely, as this technique may not be appropriate for all types of shock or injuries.
