If someone has fainted, you should: Raise their legs to improve the blood supply to the brain. If they’ve fallen, check for any injuries such as fractures or sprains & strains.
Once they recover, help them sit up gradually. Don’t let the casualty stand up straight away as they may just faint again! If they casualty does not wake up, you should open their airway by tilting their head backwards and check to see if they’re breathing. If they are, roll them onto their side and call an ambulance. If they are not breathing then commence Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). If the casualty recovers fully and hasn’t suffered any injuries, there is no need to call an ambulance. If they are not sure what caused the faint, or haven’t fainting before then it is advisable for them to seek medical attention. Occasionally, a faint can be the sign of a more serious underlying medical condition. Please check emergency first aid kits for more information.
