Re: Two Girls Drowned After Washing Clothes and Swimming
That is primitive. However, there are many rescuers who advocate doing the Heimlich maneuver in order to expel the water from the lungs prior to initiating CPR. The idea is that not much air can get into water filled lungs. Advocates of the Heimlich maneuver say to perform it for 4 to 6 seconds or until no more water is seen to come out of the victim's mouth. Yes, this is contrary to current Red Cross and other protocols, but has its staunch defenders who cite evidence in its favor (e.g., cases where victims have been revived with it after initial efforts with CPR only failed to produce any results). This controversy has been around for decades. Their motto is: "Get the victim out of the water, and then get the water out of the victim." Since the dead can't come back and tell us that they would have survived if only we had done the resuscitation differently, this controversy will probably never go away. |

Re: Two Girls Drowned After Washing Clothes and Swimming
I have here on this site. I've seen several methods of holding the victim upside down and jumping, running, shaking, whatever. Some may even be revived this way by working the lungs if the heart is still beating. If not they're dead. You have to keep blood flow going hens CPR as fast as you can start.
