What to Do When a Family Member Faints: Assess, Call for Help and Act

If someone faints, gently shake and call to check consciousness and breathing, and dial 120 immediately. If there is no breathing or only gasping, start CPR and ask someone to get an AED; if breathing but unconscious, place them on their side, keep the airway clear, and do not move them or give water. Protect the neck if injury is suspected, and keep watching while waiting for help.

Assess consciousness and breathing, call 120, start CPR and use an AED if not breathing, and place on the side if unconscious.

Reading Order

  1. Cast the natal chart first and locate the palaces and major stars tied to First Aid When a Family Member Suddenly Faints or Loses Consciousness before judging anything
  2. Open the triple-direction of those palaces and count the auspicious, malefic and assistant stars separately
  3. Check where the natal Four Transformations land to set the chart's baseline tone
  4. Read the decade-limit transformations to see whether the First Aid When a Family Member Suddenly Faints or Loses Consciousness line is activated in this stage
  5. Then read the annual transformations and the year's palace to pin down this year's trigger and timing
  6. Layer natal, decade and year before concluding, then decide how to act rather than labeling good or bad
