What happens if drowning causes suffocation?

Experts: The first time oxygen, 5 artificial respiration and chest compressions 30 times

Because drowning is cardiac arrest due to anoxia-induced hypoxia, immediate oxygen supply is the primary goal. Drowning people recover, artificial respiration is critical. If the drowning person who has been rescued is in a coma (with no pulse in his breath), he or she should immediately lift his or her chin, clean up the oral cavity and open up the airway, and prepare for mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.

According to the New England Journal of Medicine, on the basis of evidence-based medicine for drowning, it is recommended to perform 5 artificial respirations first, followed by 30 chest compressions, followed by 2 artificial respirations, followed by 30 chest compressions. The purpose is to provide adequate oxygenation to the patient at the first time.

In the past, drowning water first aid was similar to abdominal shocks, upside downs, backslides and other water control methods. In fact, the water control method basically controls the content of the stomach and the water in the stomach, but it increases the risk of aspiration. The water in the lungs is difficult to control, but it delays the recovery and rescue time. Therefore, for drowning cardiac arresters, water control is useless and harmful, and even increases mortality.
