Heart attack - emergency first aid (Contd)

Reviewed by Dr Neal Uren, consultant cardiologist and Dr Reginald Odbert, GP

Make sure the patient continues breathing and has a pulse until the ambulance arrives

If you succeed in resuscitating the person who has been taken ill, he or she may be confused and alarmed by all the commotion. Keep the patient warm and calm by quietly, but clearly, telling them what has happened.

Again, it needs to be emphasised that the only way to provide proper first aid and resuscitation is through learning the technique, then regular practice and guidance.
