Seeing that the person fainted, he suddenly turned pale, feel his pulse. If there is no pulse, it is urgent to start indirect heart massage. It helps to carry out the main function of the heart in maintaining blood flow. Do massage before restoration of complexion. Artificial respiration does not stop.

The indirect massage mechanism is as follows: stand to the left of the person, put one hand on the bottom of the sternum, put the other hand perpendicularly. Strongly, with the application of your own body weight (but dosing effort), press towards the spine. Massage 60 times per second. A heart massage is given to the child 110 times per minute, and you need to crush it with 1 hand, and the baby with your fingertips at all.

Artificial respiration is necessary to restore lung function, it is carried out until the victim has an independent breath. The mechanism of artificial respiration is as follows:
- Put the victim on the ground or table so that he is in a horizontal position;
- clean his mouth from foreign bodies, mucus, dirt and so on. Often, it is getting into a foreign body that causes strangulation. If the victim does not recover, continue resuscitation;
- Tilt his head back, cover his face with a scarf or gauze. Take a full breath. If this is a child, then you need to cover the nose and mouth with your mouth, if you are an adult, cover your nose with your hands, and close your mouth tightly. Blow air into your mouth for a second. The victim should rise chest. If the stomach also rose, then press on the epigastric part of the abdomen to displace air from the stomach.

These actions must be done 15-17 times per minute, accompanied by a heart massage. Both methods must be done comprehensively, otherwise there will be no effect. Having taken one breath, five pressures in the region of the heart follow successively. It is advisable that they be made by two people. Before starting assistance, you must call an ambulance. The task of the resuscitator is to ensure that the victim can hold out until her arrival. Even if as a result of your actions he was able to recover, his body is in a state of shock, so he will need rehabilitation in a hospital.
