Seriously, I'd have them breathe into a paper bag, so they were breathing in their own carbon dioxide, which would stop them from hyperventilating, which sometimes happens when a person is agitated about something, or is having a kind of panic attack.
Doing that always worked for me, and a doctor friend of mine taught me about that.

I gave you partial credit for an answer that works "sometimes". +3
Read mine.

@jostafine: The paper bag "treatment" is used whenever hyperventilation is suspected.

@CW: Will do.

Thanks for the points, everyone.

You can permanently "calm" someone by holding a plastic bag over his head, but that's not recommended unless you have a very good criminal defense attorney on retainer, or a strong desire to spend the rest of your life in prison.

Nowhere in my comments was the word "plastic" mentioned by me.

Thanks Mensen;)
Funny ;) CW thanks.
by jostafine on August 29th, 2009
I never suggested otherwise, Mensan. All I said was that this can be a "permanent" solution.
by Cyanotic Wasp on August 29th, 2009
Understood.
My response was equally sarcastic.
