Summer is near, which means beaches and pools are crowded with people! Unfortunately, tragedy such as drown, often occurs in times like this.

So, knowing how to perform CPR can save lives. Today, I'll show you how to respond when someone drowns.

Before approaching the victim, make sure that you, the victim and the surroundings are safe from any danger. Gently shake the person and shout, "Are you okay?" to check if they are responsive.

If there is no response, call emergency services immediately or ask someone nearby to call.

Lay the person on their back on a firm surface.

Place one hand on the forehead and the other hand under the chin. Tilt the head back and lift the chin to open the airway.

Look for chest movements, listen for breathing sounds, and feel for breath on your cheek. Spend no more than 10 seconds checking for breathing.

Place the heel of one hand in the center of the chest, right on the lower half of the breastbone. Place your other hand on top of the first hand, interlocking your fingers. Position your shoulders directly over your hands and keep your arms straight.

Push hard and fast, compressing at least 2 inches deep at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.

After 30 compressions, open the airway again using the head tilt-chin lift method. Pinch the persons nose shut, take a normal breath and blow into their mouth for about 1 second each, ensuring the chest rises with each breath.

If the person starts breathing, place them in the recovery position and monitor until help arrives. And that's it for today's emergency care session. Be a lifesaver, see you next time.
