http://www.parasolemt.com.au/Manual/fainting.asp
FAINTING (SYNCOPE) Fainting, or syncope, is a sudden brief loss of consciousness that may only last a few seconds and is followed by full recovery within two minutes. Fainting is usually caused by a relatively minor event such as the sight of blood or just prior to receiving an injection. The casualty usually makes a full recovery once he or she is laid flat. There are many causes of fainting, including:
  • standing for long periods the sight of needles the sight of blood pain emotional events heat
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
  • dizziness or feeling light headed nausea pale, cool and clammy skin anxious collapse loss of consciousness rapid recovery after being laid flat
CARE AND TREATMENT Syncope
  • if unconscious - recovery position raise the legs if possible if conscious - lay the casualty flat and raise the legs if possible for an ambulance if not fully recovered in a few minutes
Heat Syncope
  • recovery position cool casualty by fanning loosen and remove excessive clothing

Fainting
Overview Treatment Definition:
Fainting is a temporary loss of consciousness as a result of transiently decreased blood flow to the brain. Light-headedness is a vague feeling of dizziness or a feeling like a person is going to faint.
Alternative Names: Passed out; Light-headedness - fainting; Syncopal episode; Syncope
Considerations: Fainting (syncope) can be caused by any condition causing a reduction of circulating blood flow to the brain. The cause of fainting should be evaluated by a health care provider.
Fainting or syncope is characterized by sudden pallor loss of consciousness , and occasionally slight twitching or convulsive movements. For a parent, seeing their child faint may be a terrifying experience.
A simple faint (vasovagal faint) is rarely preceded by pain, pressure, constriction in the chest, or shortness of breath . It can be preceded by weakness , giddiness, nausea dizziness , and a sense that the surrounding noise is growing fainter and fainter.

Fainting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Syncope may also refer to a linguistic phenomenon.
Fainting or syncope is a sudden (and generally momentary) loss of consciousness due to a lack of sufficient blood and oxygen reaching the brain. The first symptoms a person feels before fainting are dizziness and feeling hot. Moments later, the person's vision turns black and he or she drops to the floor (or slumps if seated in a chair). Factors that influence fainting are taking in too little food and fluids, low blood pressure , physical exercise in excess of the energy reserve of the body, and lack of sleep. Even standing up too quickly or being in a too hot room can cause fainting. Recommended treatment is to allow the person to lie on the ground with his or her legs a little elevated. As the dizziness and the momentary blindness passes, the person may experience visual disturbances in the form of small bright dots ( phosphene ). These will also pass within a few minutes. If fainting happens frequently, or if there is no obvious explanation, it is important to see a doctor about it.

Fainting is a symptom of an inadequate supply of oxygen and other nutrients to the brain, usually caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow. Blood flow to the brain can decrease whenever the body cannot quickly compensate for a fall in blood pressure. Causes Fainting may occur if the heart cannot pump enough blood to maintain a normal blood pressure. For example, an abnormal heart rhythm or a heart valve disorder may impair the heart's pumping ability. People with such disorders may feel fine when resting. However, they feel faint or actually faint when exercising because the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's increased demand for oxygen. This type of fainting is called exertional or effort syncope. People with these disorders may also faint

Fainting
Fainting (syncope) is a sudden and temporary loss of consciousness. A person who has fainted cannot be aroused for several seconds to several minutes. Fainting can be frightening. People who have fainted open their eyes and find themselves slumped in a chair or sprawled on the floor, just moments after they had been going about their business. They may find themselves surrounded by a throng of concerned people. Some people faint only once. Others faint over and over again. Anyone can faint, but older people are much more likely to do so. Sometimes symptoms related to the cause of fainting occur before, during, or after fainting. People who have fainted may limit their daily activities because their doctor has advised them to so or because they are afraid of fainting again. Fainting often results in a fall, which increases the risk of injuries and disability. In older people, a fall is more likely to result in a fracture. Fainting can also be a symptom of a life-threatening disorder. See the sidebar Before, During, and After Fainting.

Definition: Fainting is a temporary loss of consciousness due to a drop in blood flow to the brain. The episode is brief (lasting less than a couple of minutes) and is followed by rapid and complete recovery. You may feel lightheaded or dizzy before fainting. A longer, deeper state of unconsciousness is often called a coma. Alternative Names: Passed out; Lightheadedness - fainting; Syncope; Vasovagal Considerations: When you faint, you not only experience loss of consciousness , but also loss of muscle tone and paling of color in your face. You may also feel weak or nauseated just prior to fainting, and you may have the sense that surrounding noises are fading into the background. Common Causes: Fainting may occur while you are urinating, having a bowel movement (especially if straining), coughing strenuously, or when you have been standing in one place too long. Fainting can also be related to fear, severe pain, or emotional distress. A sudden drop in blood pressure can cause you to faint. This may happen if you are bleeding or severely

Fainting
If a person is feeling faint, unconsciousness may be prevented by sitting with the head between the knees, as shown in the illustration above, or by lying flat with the legs raised. (Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group.) Definition
Fainting is loss of consciousness caused by a temporary lack of oxygen to the brain. Known by the medical term "syncope," fainting may be preceded by dizziness , nausea, or a feeling of extreme weakness. Description
When a person faints, the loss of consciousness is brief. The person will wake up as soon as normal blood flow is restored to the brain. Blood flow is usually restored by lying flat for a short time. This position puts the head on the same level as the heart so that blood flows more easily to the brain. A fainting episode may be completely harmless and of no significance, but it can be a symptom of a serious underlying disorder. No matter how trivial it seems, a fainting episode should be treated as a medical emergency until the cause is determined.
Extreme pain , fear, or stress may bring on fainting. This type of fainting is caused by overstimulation of the vagus nerve, a nerve connected to the brain that helps control breathing and circulation. In addition, a person who stands still or erect for too long may faint. This type of fainting occurs because blood pools in the leg veins, reducing the amount that is available for the heart to pump to the brain. This type of fainting is quite common in older people or those taking drugs to treat high blood pressure.

What is it?
Fainting is a temporary loss of consciousness, where the person falls to the floor. It's sometimes called passing out.
Causes
A faint occurs when insufficient amounts of oxygen are reaching the brain. There may be many reasons for this. The most common is a vasovagal attack, where overstimulation of a major nerve (the vagus) slows the heart rate and lowers blood pressure. This overstimulation may be caused by intense stress, fear, pain or anything that suddenly increases pressure inside the body, such as blowing a trumpet. Fainting may also result from low blood pressure, or hypotension, often when someone stands up suddenly or is dehydrated and low in body fluids. More rarely, fainting is due to abnormalities of the heartbeat.
