victim it has priority over othe treatment.

DISCUSSION
2.1 Unconscious

Unconscious is a condition in which people experience a sudden loss of consciousness in

a relatively short time or periodic unsconciousness means decreased consciousness
periodically.
Unconscious in medical term is syncope . Understanding fainting itself is a temporary
state of a person loses consciousness and weakness / fall of the postural body characterized
by rapid onset , short duration , and spontaneous recovery due to global cerebral
hypoperfusion caused by hypotension .
Unconscious is divided into two categories . The first category is cardiogenic or reflex
syncope underlie most forms of syncope . Form of cardiogenic more likely to produce
serious morbidity or mortality and require prompt treatment or even directly . Although
cardiogenic syncope is much more common in older patients , is an attempt to get rid of
arrhythmic , obstructive , causing ischemic , or cardiomyopathic syncope and circulation is
required to be done every patient
Perhaps most people wondered . How do I get people to faint ? The cause of fainting is a
lot of stuff. One is anemia . Anemia or blood deficiency occurs due to insufficient red blood
cells to supply oxygen to the brain . Reactions shock can also cause fainting . Shock is a
condition characterized by low blood pressure which can lead to loss of consciousness .
In addition to the above , the trigger fainting is due to dehydration . Dehydration or lack
of fluids in the body can also cause fainting. Dehydration can be caused by vomiting ,
diarrhea, fever , sweating , burns or less drinking . Some diseases such as diabetes can also
lead to dehydration because of too frequent urination . Vomiting and diarrhea , in particular ,
also stimulates the vagus nerve so that the double effect .
2.2 Causes of the unconscious
1. The lack of supply of oxygen from the blood to the brain is less, because:
a. the heart fails to pump blood
b. Blood vessels are not strong enough to maintain blood flow to the brain
c. there is not enough blood in the blood vessels
d. or a combination of all the above causes
2. Due to hiversensitivitas vagus (brain nerve tenth mensarafi organs of the body and affects
the heart rate.)
3. Electric disturbances in the brain
4. The state of hypoglycemia moment (the brain is deprived of sugar)

5. Psychological problems
2.3 What should we do went there are somebody unconscious
1. Move to a flat
2. Raise both feet higher than the heart of the goal that more blood can flow to the brain
3. Open or loosen the dress and belt so that blood can flow smoothly
4. Give odors to assist the return of consciousness such as wind and so the smell of oil.
5. Wait 2-3 minutes until the realized return
6. After awakening provide fresh drinking water
