Drowning is a common accident where there are rivers, ponds or lakes. We should be very careful while going into the water. We should never go swimming alone. We should not swim when we are tired. We should always be careful about our children if river or pond is nearby.
First Aid for Drowning
- Pull out anything, if stuck, in the mouth or nose.
- Lie the casualty on his/her chest. Apply pressure from his/her back and make the casualty vomit out water.
- If breathing is difficult, apply resuscitation.
- Cover the victim to conserve the body heat.
- If the victim is unconscious for a longer duration, take him to the hospital as soon as possible.
