The circulatory system pumps blood around the body, Disruptions to this system caused by illness or injury which prevent blood being pumped to the vital organs such as the brain, heart, lungs and kidneys can cause a potentially fatal condition known as shock.
Initial signs for recognition are:
- Pale, ashen, cold clammy skin
- Rapid pulse becoming weaker as time progresses
As the condition worsens you may see:
- Rapid shallow breathing
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- The casualty feels weak or giddy
- Restlessness and aggressiveness
- Decreasing consciousness
To treat the cause of shock, the casualty should be kept still and laid down (if injuries allow) with the head kept low and legs raised gently, This will keep the blood in the vital areas such as the brain. Tight clothing should be loosen around the neck, check and waist and covered with a blanket if possible. An ambulance should be called whilst checks for breathing are made regularly.
