First Aid Care for Fainting
Prevent a fainting spell by having the person sit down with his or her head near his or her knees, or lie down flat on his or her back.
- Check the person for responsiveness and normal breathing.
- Call 9-1-1 or the designated emergency number if you find any injuries or have any concerns.
- If the person does not respond and is not breathing, begin CPR immediately and use an AED as soon as possible.
