Xinhua News Agency, Xining, August 2 (Reporters Zhou Shengsheng and Yangxiu Dazhen) In the summer season, swimming and drama have become the way to cool down many people. However, many drowning incidents have recently occurred in many places across the country, which once again sounded summer safety alarm.

At 14:00 on July 31st, in Ayihai Village, Republic County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, a child fell into the farmland irrigation storage pool. Its relatives were rescued one after another, causing 6 people to die ... How to correctly rescue and avoid such tragedies again?

In response to the recent drowning incidents, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Water Resources, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs jointly issued the "Notice on Preventing Drowning Primary and Middle School Students" and required to do a good job in preventing drowning of primary and secondary school students , Effectively ensure the safety of students' lives.

Bian Weijia, deputy director of the Special Service Brigade of Xining Fire Rescue Detachment, reminded that children should strictly abide by the regulations for anti -drowning. They are not accompanied by parents or teachers to launch privately, let alone swimming Essence If you are unfortunately fell into the water, don't panic first. You can find a floating object around you and try to use buoyancy to get rid of the trap. When the nose and nose can expose the water, you must quickly adjust your breathing and call for help. When someone comes to rescue, you should relax your body and do not force the rescuer forcibly.

"Some water temperatures are low, which may cause cramps and feet of drowning people. At this time, you must calm down, avoid stretching muscles while avoiding great movements, and relaxing muscles as soon as possible." Bian Weijia said.

Dong Shouen, director of the combat training office of the Xining Fire Rescue Detachment, reminded that if someone is drowning, do not blindly launch the water to save people, especially the premise of ensuring their own safety, especially those who are not swimming. Dial 119 and 110 to call the police and call for help at the same time. If the drowning man is not far from the shore, you can find a rope or pole to pull people ashore, or tie clothes together as a rope. Do not pull your hands for assistance, so as not to cause more people to fall into the water.

If the situation is urgent, people with better water properties can be rescued under the premise of ensuring their own safety. When saving people, you must approach the drowning person from the back, and then hold up the drowning body to let his head expose the water to the side to go ashore. If you approach from the front, the drowning person may catch the rescuer out of the instinct of survival, causing danger to intensify.

After the distress, for patients with a clear consciousness, we must first remove the secretions in their mouth and nose cavity, allow them to inhale oxygen under conditions, and immediately transport them; for patients who have no consciousness and weak breathing, they need to immediately perform artificial breathing at the scene. Help it breathe, and then press the chest.

In addition, Dong Shouen reminded that he should not "control water" by inverted drowning. This will easily lead to suffocation of the drowning person and delay the time of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"Recently, the drowning incident frequently sounded the alarm again. Entering the summer, it is necessary to increase the high vigilance of the drowning incident of children." Bian Weijia said that parents should teach their children to the correct way to swim and allow children , To avoid more drowning tragedies.
