Saw someone drowning
Many people's first reaction is to save people
But if it's not the right way
Not only can it not save people
It also puts itself in danger
If you encounter someone falling into the water in the wild
How exactly to do the right rescue?
Even if you can swim
Don't rush into the water to save people
If you know how to swim
Encounter someone falling into the water
The first thought may be to go into the water to save people
But if there is no preparation activity
Rushing into the water will be stimulated by cold water
Hypothermia too quickly in water
As a result, the limbs are likely to spasm and convulsions
Leads to loss of autonomy
Even if well prepared
Pay attention too
When rescuing a drowning person from the front
Drowning people are often in a state of panic
May hold the rescuer tightly
If the drowning person pedals in the opposite direction
Not only will it not float, but it will sink
At this time, the drowning person's strength is much greater than usual
The rescuer may be dragged underwater
There are many rescuers at the scene
Can Hand in Hand Rescue Work?
Suppose the slope of the levee is 30°
To pull one out of the water
People weighing 45 kg
A pulling force of at least 25 kg or so is required
And when many people hold hands on the slope
The force is greatly reduced due to the loss in conduction
It is often difficult to achieve such a large pulling force
And the farther from the shore the people
Not only to bear the weight of the drowning person
Also share the weight of the rescuer in front
Once the limit of its power is exceeded
It's easy to get off your hands
This will lead to more people drowning
So
Someone drowning cannot be saved blindly
The right thing to do is
Shout out to those around you in time
And call the police on 119
When rescued at close range
If you don't have professional rescue equipment around
Can be trouser belts, branches, bamboo poles, etc
Reach out to the drowning person and pull him ashore
When rescuing from a distance
Rescue can be carried out using the throwing method
Put empty mineral water bottles, plastic buckets, etc
Throw to the drowning
Help drowning people borrow objects to float on the surface
Waiting for rescue
Only people with professional rescue training
Only then can you go into the water to save people
When directly launching into the water for rescue
Should be from behind or from the side
Hold the drowning person's armpits or chin
And drag it ashore with an anti-breaststroke or sidestroke
When rescuing on shore
Do not adopt a standing position
Because the center of gravity will move forward
It is easy to be pulled into the water
When launching into the water to rescue
Remove excess clothing
Such as shoes, coats, etc
Because these will become a burden after entering the water
After rescuing the drowning person ashore
The sludge in the mouth and nose should be quickly cleaned
Raise your head and chin to open the airway
and dial 120
If the drowning person has weak breathing and heartbeat
Or the heartbeat just stopped
Rescue breaths should be performed promptly
Chest compressions are also done
The coat worn by the drowning person should be removed as soon as possible
Wet clothing takes away body heat
Causes hypothermic damage
