City (Lord Media): Electric shocks are a dangerous occurrence that claim numerous lives annually. Experts emphasize that immediate and correct actions are crucial when someone suffers an electric shock, as timely decisions can save lives.
The first step is to immediately turn off the main switch of the affected area to stop the electric current. If the switch is out of reach, use a dry stick to separate the wire, avoiding wet objects.

The third step involves checking the affected person’s heartbeat and breathing. If breathing has stopped, apply chest compressions or CPR. Rub the palms and soles to restore blood circulation.
The fourth step is to take the affected person to a hospital for medical examination immediately, even if they appear to be fine.
Health experts state that the initial few minutes in electric shock incidents are critical, and prompt assistance can save many lives.
