How to treat drowning on the First Aid Show

---

*🚑 Emergency Response for Suspected Drowning Victims*
- *Situation Overview:* Learn what to do if you encounter someone who may have drowned.
- *Safety First:* Always ensure your safety before attempting a rescue.

*🌊 Drowning vs Other Emergencies*
- *Unique Challenges:* Different from typical office emergencies, drowning often results from respiratory problems, not cardiac issues.
- *Water Risks:* Be aware of cold water temperatures, underwater obstructions, and currents.

*🩺 Modified CPR for Drowning Cases*
- *Initial Steps:* After ensuring the victim is on their back, open the airway and check for breathing.
- *First Aid Procedure:*
- If no breathing, deliver five initial rescue breaths.
- Follow with 30 compressions and two breaths for one minute.
- The 'Call Fast' approach: If alone, call for emergency services after one minute of CPR.

*💡 Continuation of CPR*
- *Ongoing Care:* Continue with 30 compressions and two breaths until EMS arrives or you're instructed otherwise.
- *Reasoning:* Initial breaths aim to restart breathing; CPR follows if there's no response.

*👶 CPR Sequence for Children*
- *Ages 1 to 18:* The sequence for drowning is consistent for children in this age range.

I think the CPR provider in this video is doing the chest compressions wrong, his hands placement on the chest are incorrect, I see him doing chest compressions directly over the left anterior chest wall.

Why was the chest compressions done on the side of the chest instead of at the base of the breastbone where its supposed to be done?

Hi! I have a question. Why isn't CPR done on the sternum?

If someone has water in their lungs, how does putting them on their back and breathing into them clear the water from their lungs?
Water's heavier than air, they're on their back. Their mouth and nose are sealed.
I can only think that the liquid might come out of their airways and into their stomach!?

I live in Maldives.. 1st thing is always try to get the water out of lungs by putting the victim on their stomach and squeezing thei abdomen and chest.. Standard cpr I lost a few patients.. This newer technique I saved alot... I used common sense... Water is in lungs no matter how many chest thumps you do its still there.. Water out by putting on their stomach and then commence the standard sop when lucg field is clear . Its a clinical thing..

[nasikh]

No one is telling how to clear water from lungs
