How to treat drowning on the First Aid Show

[@ryanhills8868]

I think the CPR provider in this video is doing the chest compressions wrong, his hands placement on the chest are incorrect, I see him doing chest compressions directly over the left anterior chest wall.

That’s where the heart sits sweetheart

@@shaniquegayle6098 I think the correct hands placement is both of the interlocked hands to be placed between the nipples and on the sternum, not directly on the left anterior chest wall on the ribs cage.

Why was the chest compressions done on the side of the chest instead of at the base of the breastbone where its supposed to be done?

thank you

Hi! I have a question. Why isn't CPR done on the sternum?

[@maysarakilani972]

It's because the most mass of the heart is in the middle of your chest (not to the left as many think)( it varies from a person to another for a bit , so it's safer to say : there is enough heart to compress there 😅). And when U do the CPR on the Sternum , U compress the heart between two "Boney" hard surfaces which are the Sternum and the spine , and so it will serve as a way to simulate the pumping function of the heart. Long story short: it's the most efficient place to do CPR compressions

Can there be water in their lungs?

[@zddzzdzddz]

After a surviving a drowning event a doctor should check for water in the lungs, or else one could dry drown, which is deadly.

I live in Maldives.. 1st thing is always try to get the water out of lungs by putting the victim on their stomach and squeezing thei abdomen and chest.. Standard cpr I lost a few patients.. This newer technique I saved alot... I used common sense... Water is in lungs no matter how many chest thumps you do its still there.. Water out by putting on their stomach and then commence the standard sop when lucg field is clear . Its a clinical thing..

[@mike.pence.9004]

if they were drowning for a long time is this method still good? and how do you squeeze if they’re on their stomach

[@julieallen07]

yea after watching "7 year boy pani ma doob gaya" video I think its the better method

[@winnerswords]

That was my problem. Blowing air into a water filled lung seems counter productive

[@johnpaulnalla8741]

How to do it ???

[@johnpaulnalla8741]

Can give us a sample?

[@christinafast4459]
