3. The drowning person is upright in the water, accompanied by struggling to sink.

4. The drowning person's eyes are dull and cannot be focused or closed.

5. The drowning person's head may lean forward, the head is in the water, and the mouth is on the water.

6. No response to the drowning person or shouting.

How to save yourself when drowning? "Bringing Drift" is the best posture

When drowning, keep calm, struggle in the water, and make a sound as soon as possible or beckoning for help. Secondly, strive for as much as possible before the rescue. Using the "leaving" posture, let yourself float on the water as much as possible.

How to save the drowning person?

Once a drowning accident is found, the police first report to the police in time, and then determine whether you have the ability to rescue and avoid the situation of "to save people to make themselves drowning." Professional water rescue workers said that in the water, they can also ensure that their hands are raised with both hands. There are many parts that expose the water on the body, which means that the ability to rescue the water is strong. And if you can only barely ensure that the head is exposed, it means that he does not have the ability to save water to save people.

The following measures can be taken during rescue:

1. Fast saving ashore: It is best to hold the water falling from the head of the water, or pull the chest from it to expose the surface of the face, and then drag it ashore.

2. Remove the mouth and nose blocking: let the drowning person facing down, pry open his teeth, and remove the oral and nasal sundries with your fingers.

3. Dowry the accumulation of water in the respiratory tract: the savior is half kneeling, holding the belly of the drowning person, so that the drowning person's head faces down and pats his back.

4. Artificial respiration: For those who have a drowning of weakness and heartbeat or have just stopped heartbeat, they quickly perform artificial respiration and do the heart compressor of the chest.

5. Oxygen absorption: If there are medical conditions on the spot, you can inject strong drugs and oxygen injecting the drowning person. Insufficient conditions, medium acupuncture points with hands or acupuncture drowning people.

6. Take off your jacket: If you wear a coat on your body, take it off as soon as possible. The wet coat will take away the body thermal energy and cause low temperature damage.

In the summer, drowning is not old -fashioned. Only when everyone always hangs the word "safety" in my heart, fully understands and prepares to minimize the occurrence of tragedy.
