DrowningBeing under water for over four or five minutes is generally fatal, but, unless you know the body has been submerged a long time, make an attempt to restore life. Don't get disheartened and give up, if you see no signs of life after a few minutes' work. Work on the body for at least an hour. Your comrade's lifeless body has just been pulled out of the water. What do you do? You are alone. 1. Don't waste time in removing his clothes. 2. Reach your finger in his mouth and straighten out his tongue. 3. Lay him on his stomach; then straddle him; reach both arms under his stomach; raise his hips two feet from the ground and jostle him. This drains the water from the stomach and lungs. 4. Lay him on his stomach; turn his head to one side so his nose and mouth do not touch the ground; extend his arms beyond his head (see illustration); locate his lowest (12th) rib; place hand, finger, and thumb closed (see illustration) on body so that the little finger curls over the 12th rib; hold your arms and wrists straight and lean forward slowly so the weight of the upper part of your body will be brought to bear gradually upon your comrade's ribs (see illustration); let this pressure continue for about three seconds; then remove it suddenly by removing the hands. Apply this pressure at the rate of from 12 to 15 times a minute. 5. Do not attempt to give him any kind of liquids while he is unconscious. 6. Apply warm blankets as soon as possible. 7. Never say He is dead--Work on his body for at least an hour. Next: Sunstroke--(the Skin Is Hot) Previous: Broken Bone (fracture)
