It is very dangerous for a child to drown. Every parent should master the knowledge of first aid in order to help their children in time in an emergency. This paper will introduce three steps and precautions of first aid for children drowning, so as to help parents better understand first aid knowledge.

1 Clean foreign bodies in mouth and nose

Immediately after rescuing the child, let the child face down and pry open his teeth. Quickly clean up the impurities in the oral cavity and nasal cavity, and repeatedly hit the shoulder and back to ensure the unobstructed respiratory tract.

2. Drain the accumulated water in the respiratory tract.

Kneel on one leg, bend the other leg, and let the child lie on his thigh with his head and feet drooping. Shake your thighs or press your back to help drain water from your respiratory tract.

3 Artificial respiration and cardiac compression

If the child's breathing and heartbeat are weak, give mouth-to-mouth (nose) artificial respiration immediately and do chest compressions. Time is pressing, don't delay!

Matters needing attention

The first few minutes of first aid are crucial! Take immediate measures when breathing is weak.
