How to give first aid to drowning people when traveling in Guilin?

Tourists will inevitably visit rivers, lakes, ponds or seaside. In summer, many people like to go swimming when they see the clear river. However, due to poor water quality or insufficient understanding of water, sometimes drowning is inevitable. Generally, the respiratory tract, oral cavity or nasal cavity of a drowning person is filled with water, the whole body is blue, the eyes are bloodshot, the mouth and nose are filled with foam, sediment or aquatic plants, and the whole body is cold, swollen and unconscious. Rescue method:

(1) Take out the guts from his mouth first and loosen his clothes.

(2) Make him prone, put his clothes under his abdomen, or put him on a slope, so that his head is low and his feet are high, and pat his back to make the abdominal water flow out of his lungs and stomach. If the drowning person is not big, you can also hold your legs and run with your abdomen to let the water flow out, or put your abdomen on the rescuer's thigh to let the water flow out.

(3) The most effective way is to let him lie on his back with his head slightly lower and his face turned to one side. The rescuer puts his hands on his upper abdomen and squeezes downward. When squeezing, he should be fast and powerful, and after squeezing, he should relax and repeat several times in a row to reduce the volume of the chest cavity and squeeze out the water in the respiratory tract.

(4) All rescue measures should be completed in a few minutes, and the actions should be quick and agile, and then rescue with artificial respiration and heart massage.

(5) In first aid, strong stimulation can also be used to stimulate Renzhong, Yongquan, Neiguan and Guanyuan points.

(6) If there is still no recovery after the above treatment, artificial respiration and heart massage should be done, and they should be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment quickly.
