FAINTING | First Aid Measures | Children Health If your child has fainted, loosen any tight clothing on her waist, neck and chest and make sure that her legs are raised so that the blood can circulate properly and reach her heart.
Fainting: What Causes It ? Fainting can happen when not enough oxygen flows through your blood and into your brain. You lose consciousness, or "pass out," for a very brief time--just a few minutes.
First Aid - Fainting Spell The loss of consciousness is usually brief, and the episode can have no medical significance or it can be a symptom of a serious disorder. Therefore, treat loss of consciousness as a medical emergency until the symptoms are relieved and the cause is known.
