Re: Trying to Revive a Drowned Teenager On the Beach
Seemed his lungs were still full of water. would have been better to turn him to empty his lungs of water and then do some cpr. I am always suprised at how many people do not know basic first aid. Poor lad.

Re: Trying to Revive a Drowned Teenager On the Beach
No one rushing in for a little mouth-to-mouth, either. I wonder why.

Re: Trying to Revive a Drowned Teenager On the Beach
That’s not how you empty lungs of water. The best thing that does that are breaths. That’s why you see the lifeguards at Bondi giving breaths on the surfboards before they even make land. Air displaces the water, and chest compressions are fairly pointless unless there’s some actual oxygen in the body to send to the brain. |

Re: Trying to Revive a Drowned Teenager On the Beach
Yeah, with that much water in his lungs, he was probably a floater before he was even noticed. (Lifeguard not doing his job, attention always on the swimmers.) That’s a tragic end for the boy. I wonder what specifically caused his drowning? He certainly knew how to swim if he was diving… |

Re: Trying to Revive a Drowned Teenager On the Beach
The white foam is pulmonary surfactant that washed out of his lungs. CPR performed at this point is completely pointless.

Re: Trying to Revive a Drowned Teenager On the Beach
This happened to one of my brothers friends while they were in high school drunkenly competing who could swim the most laps underwater. They were able to resuscitate him by lying him on his side and smacking him in the middle of his back, which caused him to spew out the water in his system. I’m not saying that this will work every time, but it worked for them thankfully

Re: Trying to Revive a Drowned Teenager On the Beach
I figure he went too deep too long trying to reach the elusive object, then inhaled water on his way back up. Even if he was able to surface, with lungs full of water he would have to exhale water, then inhale air all during a drowning panic and no air in his body for buoyancy. That would probably kill me too.

Poor lad, drowning while surrounded by morons, he might have had better luck if they had used a damn Ouija!  |
