Incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials such as wood, coal and organic fuels results in "house gas".
"the silent killer"How does death happen?
Heating water in gas heaters is through the combustion of fuel inside, and then the production of carbon monoxide begins, which leaks automatically - with a fault in the heater - and with the doors and windows tightly closed in the winter, that carbon gas accumulates and the emitted combustion fumes are inhaled and spread in the body, whether While showering or sleeping, which leads to the withdrawal of oxygen from the blood and sudden loss of consciousness, without any warning preliminary symptoms - according to "Al Arabi".
Complications of carbon gas The complications of carbon monoxide on the body - according to the doctor's addition - grow according to the amount of gas concentration in the blood, stressing that they lead to brain tissue damage and damage to the heart, ending with death, in a period of less than 20 minutes, if the patient was bad luck and did not receive Quick Aid allows oxygen to return to the body as soon as possible.

Immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation
"Abdul-Maqsoud" also sees an urgent need to perform a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, by lying on his back, and making the head up by raising the chin with the hand of one of the rescuers, and tilting the head back with the other hand, to open the airway, provided that the paramedic takes a deep breath that fills the cheeks and then blows it into the mouth The patient, while closing the mouths, repeats this for several times with the possibility of doing a resuscitation of the heart by pressing the hands on the upper chest area firmly, until the ambulance arrives and the patient receives the first oxygen session.
