What are the methods of self rescue and first aid for drowning?

If you are not familiar with the nature of water, you must not panic, try to keep your mind clear, and take self-rescue measures by tilting your head as much as possible and turning your mouth upwards so that your mouth and nose are exposed to the water, and then you can breathe. Exhale shallowly, inhale deeply, and never lift your hands or struggle, as this will sink your body and immediately call for help to those on the shore.

If the drowning person is still moving on the water, the rescuer should pull the armpit from his back to support it, if the rescuer is not skilled in swimming, it is best to carry life-saving equipment into the water, but be careful not to be entangled by the drowning person, so as not to affect themselves.

If the drowning person's breathing has stopped, you can swim in the water while doing mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration, after being rescued from the shore, quickly remove the sludge, weeds and secretions in the mouth and nose of the drowning person, and remove the movable dentures to avoid falling into the trachea, and unbutton the drowning person's clothes and belts.

If the drowning victim is found to have water in his mouth or his stomach is distended, the water should be controlled. The rescuer knees on one leg with the other bent and places the drowning person's abdomen on his knees, causing his head to hang down, and then pressing on his back. You can also take advantage of the natural slope on the ground and put your head in a downhill position; Using a small wooden bench or a large stone under the stomach of a drowning person can also control the water.

If a child is drowning, you can lift your feet upside down to control the water. It should be noted that if there is no water overflow after a few press strokes, there is no need to insist on water control. If breathing and heartbeat have stopped, artificial respiration and heart squeeze should be done immediately, and no more time should be wasted for water control.

Even on the way to the hospital, artificial respiration and heart squeezing could not be stopped.

How can you save yourself if you are drowning, this self-rescue guide is really useful!

If you don't know how to swim, don't panic, stay calm, tilt your head back, mouth up, try to expose your mouth and nose to the water, and breathe, exhale shallowly and inhale deeply. Because when you inhale deeply, the specific gravity of the human body drops to the point that it is slightly lighter than water and can rise to the surface (the specific gravity of the human body is slightly heavier than water when exhaling), and you cannot lift or struggle with your hands so as not to sink your body.

1. In the event of a drowning incident, you must be calm and calm, understand your environment, and use your own buoyancy or objects around you to save yourself. The basic principle of self-rescue in water is to maintain physical strength and maintain the minimum physical strength for the longest time in the water.

To achieve this, it is necessary to moderate the breathing rate, relax the muscles, and slow down the movements.

2. When cramping occurs while swimming, if the shore is very close, you should immediately get out of the water and go to the shore for massage; If you are far away from the shore, you can take a supine swimming posture and float on the water surface to try to traction and massage the cramped limbs in order to relieve them; If self-treatment does not work, the non-cramped limb should be used to paddle to the shore as much as possible.

3. If you encounter aquatic weeds in swimming, you should swim back from the original path in a backstroke position. In case you get entangled in aquatic weeds, don't jump around, but float on your back. Paddle with one hand, untie the aquatic weeds with the other, and swim back the way you came.

4. When swimming, you can fall into the whirlpool, you can inhale and dive underwater, and swim out forcefully, and then surface after swimming out of the center of the whirlpool.

5. If there is physical exhaustion and excessive fatigue during swimming, you should stop swimming, float on the water surface to recover your physical strength, and return to the shore in time after your physical strength is recovered.

6. If you find that you are not physically strong in the water and cannot swim back to the shore, you should immediately raise your hand for help, or shout "help" and wait for rescue.

7. If you find that someone is drowning, immediately send out a "someone is drowning" call for help or call 110 for support, if you have not learned water lifesaving, do not rush into the water to rescue.
