How to fill out cpr for drowning protocol

How to fill out CPR for drowning protocol:

1. Check the scene: Before initiating CPR, ensure that the scene is safe for both the victim and the responder. Remove any potential hazards or dangers to prevent further harm.
2. Call for help: Dial emergency services immediately to seek professional medical assistance. Notify the dispatcher about the drowning incident and request an ambulance.
3. Assess the victim: Check the victim for responsiveness. Gently tap their shoulders and ask if they are okay. If they do not respond, move on to the next step.
4. Open the airway: Tilt the victim's head back slightly and lift their chin to open the airway. This helps to maintain a clear passage for breath.
5. Check for breathing: Look, listen, and feel for signs of breathing. Look for the rise and fall of the chest, listen for any breathing sounds, and feel for any air movement on your cheek.
6. Start chest compressions: If the victim is not breathing or only gasping, begin chest compressions. Place the heel of one hand in the center of the victim's chest, on the lower half of the breastbone. Interlock your other hand on top and push hard and fast at a rate of about 100-120 compressions per minute.
7. Administer rescue breaths: After performing 30 chest compressions, tilt the victim's head back, pinch their nose shut, and create a seal over their mouth with your mouth. Give two rescue breaths, each lasting about one second and making sure the chest rises with each breath.
8. Continue with cycles of compressions and breaths: Repeat the cycle of 30 chest compressions followed by two rescue breaths until help arrives, the victim starts breathing, or you become too exhausted to continue. Do not interrupt chest compressions for more than 10 seconds.
