Drama in Tyrol: Mann saved with helicopter after a electric shock in the holiday home!

In a terrifying incident in Finkenberg, Tyrol, a 48-year-old man from the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen suffered an electric shock on Saturday. The accident occurred when the man tried to connect an electric stove in his holiday home. He collapsed unconscious. His acquaintance, who happened to work in front of the house, heard a desperate scream and found the man lying on the ground. He immediately set an emergency call and began with resuscitation measures that can be decisive in such cases, as the DRK emphasized.

After the rescue worker after the first aid, the injured person was flown to the Innsbruck Clinic with a rescue helicopter. However, the severity of his injuries remains unclear, since no precise information has been known so far. In the meantime, the police have started investigations into the exact cause of the accident. Fortunately, while such incidents are not common, this case again underlines the dangers that can arise when dealing with electrical devices.

First aid measures are crucial

In the context of electricity accidents, it is essential to know the right first aid measures. According to the [BGetem] (https://www.bgetem.de/arbeitspersensund-gesundheitschutz/themen-von-a-z-1/organization-von-arbeits-und-gesundheitung/erste-hilfe/massfehnen-der-ersten-hilfe-bei-bein-Bein-bei-bei-bei-bei-bei-bei-bei-bei-bein-beit, first aiders should first observe their own protection. This means that the power supply must be interrupted immediately - in the event of high -voltage accidents, this should only be left to specialist staff. A safety distance of up to 20 meters is to be observed so as not to put yourself in danger.

After an electricity interruption, the life -saving immediate measures follow. First, the consciousness and breathing of the person concerned should be checked. If the person is passed out and no longer breathes normal, cardiac resolution (HLW) must be carried out immediately. This should be continued until signs of life appear or professional help arrives. An automated external defibrillator (AED), if available, can also provide crucial help by checking the heart rhythm and giving appropriate instructions.

safe handling of electrical devices

How the DRK warns if special care should be taken when dealing with electrical devices in damp areas such as the kitchen and bathroom. The risk of electric shocks is particularly high here. Defective electrical appliances belong in the hands of experts, and it is advisable not to take the bathroom to the bathroom, radios or phones. In addition, such devices should always be operated at a safe distance to filled bathtubs.

This shocking event illustrates that we should all develop a certain awareness of the dangers of dealing with electricity. The right knowledge of first aid and precautionary measures can save lives in an emergency and decide decisive minutes about the chances of survival of one person.
