Fainting, or “blackout” is a short-term loss of consciousness of a reversible nature due to a disruption in the supply of oxygen or other trace elements to the brain. This syncope is characterized by a rapid development of symptoms, a short duration of the attack, and spontaneity.

Fainting can happen to anyone and anywhere, including in a cosmetologist`s office; for this condition you do not even need to have a history of chronic diseases. There is a misconception that this is not a critical condition that does not pose a threat to the life and health of the patient. In fact, without help, fainting can even be fatal. Therefore, it can be classified as an emergency .
