Unconscious victims should be placed on their side to allow drainage of fluids. Do not move the victim if there is a suspicion of neck or spine injuries unless absolutely necessary.
If the victim is not breathing, apply mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. If the victim has no pulse, begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Then cover the victim with a blanket to maintain body heat, keep the victims head low and get medical attention.
Stay with the victim until help arrives
First Aid for Electrical Burn Victims
Electrical burns vary in severity depending upon: (1) how long the body was in contact with the electric current; (2) the strength of the current; (3) the type of current; and (4) the direction the current takes though the body. Most severe burns are painless, due to the damaged nerves. Often these burns are deep. Electrical burn wounds may look minor on the outside, but could be severe on the inside.
If the person is conscious and there are no signs of shock (such as pale and clammy skin, weakness, bluish lips and fingernails, having a rapid pulse, and decreasing alertness), begin treating the burned area.
