- Difficulties breathing/no breathing at all
- A weak erratic pulse/no pulse

What Does the Rescue Hook Do?
The Electric Shock Rescue Hook is a fundamental item for electric shock first aid, and is solely designed to separate the victim source from the source of electricity, while keeping the first aid responder safe. Only once the victim has been removed from the dangerous area can their vital signs (pulse, consciousness, burns) be checked.
