The scorching summer is coming, and children drowning accidents are frequent, and parents must be vigilant to prevent drowning accidents, so put away this safety tip
High-risk drowning sites for different age groups
The most common places of drowning for children under the age of 4 are mainly domestic water storage containers such as water tanks and bathtubs.
The most common places for children aged 5-9 years to drown involve canals, ponds and reservoirs.
Children over the age of 10 can be at risk of drowning in ponds, lakes and rivers due to a larger range of autonomous activities.
Strengthen drowning prevention education
Parents should enhance their awareness of safety precautions and strengthen their children's drowning prevention education. Teach children to always do "six no's and two sessions":
1. Do not swim in the water without permission;
2. Do not swim with others without authorization;
3. Do not swim without the guidance of parents or teachers;
4. Do not swim in waters without safety facilities and rescue personnel;
5. Do not swim in unfamiliar waters;
6. If you are not familiar with the water and have not mastered the rescue method, you must not go into the water to rescue without authorization;
7. Remind each other, dissuade and report when danger is found;
8. Basic self-care and self-help methods.
Parents do a good job of safety guardianship management
1. As a parent, don't leave anything to chance. In addition to drowning prevention education for children, it is also necessary to know the whereabouts of children:
2. Parents should set an example and do not take their children to swim and play in dangerous waters such as rivers, lakes and seas. Please take your child to a safe and regular swimming place and must be accompanied and supervised at all times.
3. If you see a child playing nearby after passing through dangerous waters, please stop, inform the child of the danger, and advise him to leave.
How to properly rescue a drowning person?
"Called and stretched and thrown" method
Being able to swim is not the same as being able to save lives. When encountering a drowning person, you must first ensure your own safety and avoid blindly rescuing yourself and putting yourself in danger.
Parents should warn their children that when they encounter others falling into the water, they must not rush into the water to save people or join hands to form a "human chain" rescue, which can be rescued by the method of "screaming and stretching and throwing". The correct rescue method can not only ensure their own safety, but also create better self-rescue conditions for drowning victims.
"Call": shouting for help and seeking help from adults;
"Call": call 110, 119, 120 and other emergency numbers;
"Stretch": Under the condition of ensuring one's own safety, hand branches, sticks, bamboo poles, etc. to the person who falls into the water;
"Throw": Throw floating objects such as foam blocks, lifebuoys, sealed plastic bottles, etc., to the drowning person and wait for rescue.
cardiopulmonary resuscitation
After drowning accidents, many so-called "water control" methods are not advisable, and it is very important to implement CPR in a timely and accurate manner.
1. Check whether there is breathing and heartbeat immediately after going ashore, and remove the mud and weeds in the mouth;
2. If there is no breathing and heartbeat, perform 5 mouth-to-mouth artificial respirations;
3. Then perform chest compressions 30 times;
4. After that, it is cycled according to the ratio of 2 times of artificial respiration and 30 times of chest compression;
5. Connect the AED as soon as possible and follow the prompts;
6. If there is a breathing heartbeat, let the drowning person turn sideways to facilitate vomiting and remove the vomit in time.
