Q & A

Why is it important for parents to supervise their children near water?

It is important because children are at risk of drowning when playing near water, such as in swimming pools, rivers, or lakes. Proper supervision helps prevent accidents and ensures children's safety.

What should you do if you find a child who has drowned?

The first step is to move the child from the water to a safe, flat surface. Make sure the surface is stable and secure before proceeding with any further actions.

What should you do if you have access to another person during a drowning emergency?

If there is someone else nearby, ask them to call an ambulance or contact the nearest hospital while you prepare to provide first aid.

How do you open the child’s airway for resuscitation?

Place one hand behind the child's head and the other under their chin. Gently tilt the head back while holding the chin to open the airway.

What should you do to clear water from the child’s airway?

If the child is under 1 year old, gently carry the child at an angle and tap their back between the shoulder blades to help clear the water. For children over 1 year old, perform abdominal thrusts to remove the water.

How do you check for a child's pulse during resuscitation?

For children under 1 year old, check the pulse on the arm or thigh. For children over 1 year, check the pulse at the neck area.

What steps should you take if the child has no pulse?

If the child has no pulse, perform chest compressions. For infants under 1 year, use two fingers to press the chest just above the sternum. For children over 1 year, use one hand to compress the chest.

How do you perform chest compressions for a child?

For children under 1 year, perform chest compressions with two fingers at a depth of about 1.5 inches. For children over 1 year, use one hand for compressions at a depth of about 2 inches. Aim for a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute.

What is the recovery position for a child under 1 year after resuscitation?

For infants, the recovery position involves carrying the child with the head slightly tilted downward to prevent any potential choking.

What should you do if you are performing resuscitation with another person?

If you are with another rescuer, alternate performing chest compressions every 15 compressions to avoid exhaustion. Keep checking the child's pulse, breathing, and consciousness until help arrives.
