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.
