Providing CPR to Kids | Drowning Scenario

🏊 Kids need constant supervision in the water. Drowning can occur in just 20 seconds!

Follow these 3 steps:

✅ Step 1: Immediately remove the child from the water. If the child is unresponsive - take charge. If others are around, recruit their help. Instruct one person to call 911 and if available, send someone else to retrieve an AED (Automated External Defibrillator.)

✅ Step 2: Determine if the child is breathing. Tilt their head back to open their airway. Look for signs of normal effective breathing - is their chest rising? Do you feel any breath coming out of their mouth? Do you hear any breathing sounds? Do you see any sign of life?

✅ Step 3: If the child is not breathing, begin CPR immediately. Give 30 compressions followed by 2 breaths and repeat.

If they begin to show signs of life, immediately roll them on their side, into the recovery position. Once you have rolled them on their side, check to ensure their airway is open and leaning forward. This position is meant to keep their airway safe and prevent them from choking on any vomit. Keep talking to them and provide constant reassurance.
