As the weather gets hotter, more and more people are swimming in the water, and drowning incidents are also commonly reported by the media. Unfortunately, due to the sudden occurrence of the incident and the limited number of people around who have mastered drowning rescue techniques, drowning deaths are not uncommon. Mastering the basic techniques for rescuing drowning incidents is indeed a very important thing.
(1) Quickly pour out the accumulated water in the drowning person's body, especially in the respiratory tract.
(2) Dredging the respiratory tract: If the drowning person still has heartbeat and breathing, they should immediately pry open the mouth, remove mud, rotten grass, vomit, etc. from the mouth and nose, pull out their tongue to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed, and at the same time, pinch their middle acupoint with their hands.
(3) Artificial respiration and heartbeat recovery: If the drowning person's breathing and heartbeat stop, immediate mouth to mouth artificial respiration and chest compressions should be performed. If there are two people on site, one person should perform heart compressions and the other person should perform mouth to mouth breathing; His head is fully tilted back, breathing mouth to mouth once, followed by four compressions of the heart, alternating between blowing and pressing the heart. If there is only one person on site, the rescuer can take two breaths first and then perform 8 heart massages repeatedly, which can also achieve good results.
(4) Urgently send to the hospital for further rescue: After the above treatment and the recovery of breathing and heartbeat, do not assume that everything is in good condition, as complications of the lungs, heart, and brain may also occur. It is necessary to quickly escort to the nearest hospital for further rescue and treatment.
