Yueyang Evening News all -media reporter Qiu Yuzheng

Entering Sanfu Tian, ​​the weather is getting hotter, and many people will choose to play or play on the water and feel a cool. However, security issues cannot be ignored. Especially for minors, we must stay away from dangerous outdoor water sources, and must not be launched privately. At the same time, it is necessary to master some drowning first aid knowledge.

How to save yourself when drowning unexpectedly? How to rescue the drowning person? These are what everyone should understand.

Seven signs of identifying drowning

Drowning refers to the situation where people are drowned in water and cause respiratory disorders and suffocation. The drowning process is very fast, and it usually dies due to the stopping of breathing in 4-6 minutes.

"The golden time of the drowning person is the incident for 30 seconds. If the drowning person can be found in time, this will win the most precious time for rescue." Xu Xiangping, president of the Association, said.

What are the characteristics of drowning? How to distinguish whether it is drowning? Xu Xiangping introduced that there were seven signs of signs to distinguish the drowning. The drowning mouth will not surface in the water and then surface, there is no time to call for help; the arm of the drowning child may extend, but the water cannot be moved to the rescuer; The drowning person's eyes are sluggish and cannot be focused or closed; the drowning child's head may lean forward, the head is in the water, the mouth is on the water; it looks like drowning, but it is in a daze, but there is no response to the question; Many sounds, once quiet and silent.

"Drowning is not like the performance of the TV, shouting 'life -saving'. The real situation is that drowning is often silent, because the mouth and nose are in the water when drowning Attention.

Remember the "five steps" in the water in the water

After discovering the drowning person, how to save people quickly and correctly? Xu Xiangping introduced that there are five steps in the water rescue.

The first step -Huh. If you find someone drowning, don't jump into the water to rescue it, immediately call for help, get help, call the police, call for emergency services.

Step 2 -stretch. When rescue, the rescue person must first ensure his own safety and fully protect himself. Try to rescue as far as possible. Close rescue can do this: extend the trousers, branches, towels, bamboo poles, etc. to the drowning person, lean down and lay down to pull the drowning person ashore. In order to avoid stabbing the drowning person, it should move from the side when the tool is extended.

Step 3 -throw. During close rescue, you can also use the throwing method. Use a rope to pull the drowning person ashore, or throw the empty mineral water bottle, plastic barrel, life ring, wooden board and other drowning people to help the drowning people float on the water on the water and wait for the rescue.

Step 4 -Praise. If there are boats, bamboo rafts, etc. at the scene, professional rescuers who have been trained can use tools to draw tools to drowning people, and they should approach the side and pull them up from the stern.

Step 5 -Tour. When the drowning scene without any rescue tools can be used, when the ambulator needs to be rescued, he must be trained to ensure that he is safe, it is best to have the assistance of your companion and carry the floating glute, and then jump into the water for rescue. If the drowning person is sober and struggle in the water, you should quickly go behind it. Do not be caught by the drowning person in the chaotic struggle, and then hold the armpit of the drowning person with both hands. If the drowning person is brought back to the safety place, it is best to use a floating glute with conditions. If the drowning person is coma, you can approach the front, grab the wrist of the drowning person, and bring it back to the side swimming. In the water, in the case of necessary, you can perform an artificial breathing.

The rescue on the shore is also critical

After saving the drowning person ashore, what should I do next? "The rescue on the shore is also critical. It is necessary to take the next step to rescue the next step according to the actual situation of the drowning person." Xu Xiangping introduced that after landing, first let the drowning person lie on the ground and quickly remove the foreign body of the mouth and nose. There is no need to control water, because there is no evidence that the water will block the airway as a foreign body. There are two situations: there are two situations:

If the drowning person has no consciousness, no breathing, and no heartbeat, the first must open the airway immediately and give 2-5 artificial respiration; the second should be implemented immediately, each 5 cycles (30 chest presses and 2 times 2 times and 2 times Artificial breathing is a cycle) to judge the effect of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. If the respiratory heartbeat is not restored, the cardiopulmonary resuscitation will continue.

If the drowning person has breathing and heartbeat, when his consciousness is unclear, he should keep it on the side as much as possible, eliminate foreign objects, ensure smooth breathing, and closely observe the changes in breathing and heartbeat. If consciousness is clear, it should be ensured that its breathing is smooth and other ambulance measures should be implemented. For those with normal capabilities, they can help them use vomiting methods to discharge the stomach water, but vomiting has the risk of accidental inhalation. The ambulance should observe the drowning person at any time.

"It should be noted that don't give up rescue easily, especially under low body temperature, keep warm for the drowning person in time. Rescue should insist on arriving at the medical staff at the scene." Xu Xiangping reminded.

Drowning self -rescue mastering this "five moves"

The above -mentioned drowning emergency methods are mainly targeted at rescuers. So how do drowning people rescue themselves? Xu Xiangping introduced that for young people, especially children, it is difficult to master drowning self -rescue, because they are young and are difficult to operate. The most effective way is to prevent it from the source, do not go to dangerous waters to swim and play with water. If the danger really happens, you can try the following methods to save yourself: first. Do not try to make yourself surface after drowning, so it will only be counterproductive. At this time, the most important thing is to hold the breath, relax the whole body, and remove the heavy objects on the body. Because the water has buoyancy, the body sinks to a certain extent, and the human body without a load will float up.

2. When floating, the arms are paddling down like a bird. At the same time, take the head to lean back and upward, first expose the nose out of the water, and immediately breathe. The exhalation should be shallow, inhale deep, and the body should be floated to the water as much as possible, waiting for others to rescue.

3. If the swimming pool with a depth of 2-3 meters is drowned, the water falling can accelerate the floating ground with pedals when they touch, and the water surface can immediately call for help.

4. If drowning due to the cramps of the calf, take a deep breath and the screen gas should be pulled forward forward to the top of the toe, so that the toes are tilted up until the spasm stops. For cramps in other parts, you must fully massage and stretch the affected area, find opportunities to rise, and breathe full.

5. If you are entangled with water plants, be sure to calm down. After inhaling, hold your breath and drill into the water, and slowly liberate the winding with both hands. Don't struggle, otherwise you may be tighter.

Learn to swim to prevent drowning

Speaking of the topic of drowning, Xu Xiangping felt deeply. As the president of Yueyang Red Cross Emergency Rescue Volunteer Association, he led the Red Cross Rescue Teachers to rural schools to conduct lectures on drowning. From June 14th to 17th, the association's teacher Wu Aihua and the Tang Weijun led the volunteers for more than 2,000 students in the intersection of the intersection of Yunxi District, Tao Li Primary School and other schools. 68 safety officers from the intersection, Changling Street, Yunxi Street, and Songyang Lake Street conducted training on how to rescue, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and AED correctly.

"While explaining the knowledge of anti -drowning, we deeply realized that for the group of youth, it is not enough to master the knowledge of anti -drowning. It is also necessary to learn the skill of swimming." Xu Xiangping said that in order to let more children learn to swim, At present, Yueyang Swimming School is leading the establishment of the Yueyang Swimming Association, which is expected to be officially established at the end of July. The first major event after the establishment of the association was to cooperate with many swimming venues in the urban area to launch a swimming training course for the student group, and give a large discount in tuition fees. According to reports, during the summer vacation, the city swimming school will also conduct free swimming training for left -behind children and children of the dilemma, and plan to run 3 classes with 20 to 30 people per class.

"In the future, our Red Cross volunteers will also move the classrooms of anti -drowning knowledge lectures to the swimming venues and pools, so that children can better learn self -rescue and mutual rescue methods while learning swimming skills." Xu Xiangping said.
