Drowning

1. Adequate ventilation is KEY!!!
2. For patients breathing on their own,
  start Oxygen 15L NRB; for patients
  not adequately breathing → BVM.
3. Do not suction foam in airway,
  just bag through it initially.
4. For drowning victims in cardiac
  arrest, emphasis should be on
  good oxygenation/ventilation →
  use traditional 30:2 CPR
  (no continuous compressions).
