The bad signs after fainting are an inability to move our limbs, vision problems, slurred speech, confusion, irregular heartbeat, difficulty breathing, chest pain and prolonged loss of consciousness.
Also it's crucial to seek medical attention immediately if the fainting occurs during exercise or without any warning signs, especially in older people, or those that have heart conditions.
If a person has fainted and doesn't regain consciousness within a few minutes or if the fainting lasts longer than 1 minute it's often a serious sign.
If there's any chest pain, shortness of breath or irregular heartbeat associated with the fainting these are also bad signs and you should seek medical attention.
When you faint, paramedics will first ensure that your airway is open and your breathing is adequate and circulation is also established.
Paramedics will then assess the situation and check your vital signs, including your pulse and breathing and the paramedics may also do a physical exam and even possibly administer oxygen if needed.
If you're not breathing or have no pulse, the paramedics will start CPR.
Paramedics might also assess you for any injuries and monitor your recovery.
If needed the paramedics will also start an IV, obtain your blood glucose levels and perform other procedures as needed.
The paramedics goal when you faint is to stabilize you and determine the cause of the fainting and provide the appropriate treatment and transport you to the hospital for further treatment.
Paramedics also first ensure that the scene is safe for the patient and themselves.
Paramedics also quickly assess your level of consciousness, pulse and breathing.
And if you're not breathing, the paramedics will start CPR, and if you're breathing, they will place you in a recovery position, "on your side" to keep your airways open.
Paramedics also ensure that your airway is clear and open and may even use suction or other airway adjuncts.
And if you're not breathing adequately, the paramedics may provide you with ventilation with a bag-valve mask or other devices.
They will also check for a pulse and begin chest compressions if there's no pulse.
Once they get you into the hospital the hospital will take over after the paramedics.
