The Role of CPR in Drowning Emergencies
In drowning emergencies, the primary issue is a lack of oxygen. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), especially with rescue breaths, is crucial. It helps circulate oxygenated blood to the brain and vital organs until professional help arrives. Starting CPR immediately after safely removing someone from the water significantly increases their chance of survival. Even if you're untrained, hands-only CPR is better than no action. If you encounter a drowning emergency, act fast and call for help. Spring Emergency Room is equipped for critical situations – contact us if needed.
