In Case Of Emergency
Remain calm , stay with the affected person, and keep them conscious if possible. In an emergency, instruct a third party to call the ambulance or emergency doctor (phone 144
). Until the emergency doctor arrives, administer first aid and inform the doctor what the person has consumed (they are bound by medical confidentiality).
Bad trips, panic attacks, and anxiety:
Don't leave the person experiencing a bad trip alone. Talk to them calmly ("talk down"). Try to convey positive thoughts and a sense of security. Changing location can help: Take them outside for fresh air and offer them water or tea. Maintain physical contact (if the person allows it). If their condition doesn't improve, contact an emergency doctor or paramedics.
When calling for help,
remain calm, state names, explain what happened, how many people are affected, and where the patient is located. Explain how to get there and show the arriving ambulance the way.
Call emergency services immediately at 144.
Pale complexion, unconsciousness, severe drowsiness, irregular breathing, unresponsiveness, weak pulse:
Place the person in the recovery position and keep them warm. Check their pulse (at the neck) and breathing. If they regain consciousness, do not give them food or drink.
Heatstroke
(bright red, hot face, racing pulse, nausea, headache): Move the affected person to a quiet, cool place with fresh air. Position them with their head elevated and stay with them. If they are responsive, give them vitamins or sweetened drinks. Do not give them anything to eat!
Shock
(rapid, weak pulse, pale complexion, cold sweat, restlessness, disorientation, nausea):
Lay the person on their back and elevate their legs, check breathing, pulse and consciousness.
