10 misunderstandings about drowning are very dangerous many people have

What is drowning?

Knowing how to swim can never drown?

The more you swim, the more dangerous. And swimming near the shore is absolutely safe?

In general, getting involved in rivers is a dangerous part ...

WebTech360 points to 10 misunderstandings about drowning many people suffer.

Drowning is possible

 

When is it known that someone has drowned?

One of the most common myths about drowning is that many people believe they will recognize when someone is drowning. This perception can keep you from discovering who is in danger. So it is important to be vigilant and observe those around.

In particular, in rivers and streams, it is difficult to say anything in advance.

The victim will wave

Think you'll see the victim waving frantically?

You are wrong! Only on movies!

If someone is trying to wave and yell for help, immediately assist them. If not, do not be subjective. Most people who drown are extremely frightened. However, they cannot shout because no one can hear them even if they scream.

So, the signs of silence are extremely scary when someone is about to drown.

They can swim, they will be fine

 

Knowing how to swim doesn't mean it's safe!

This is true for everyone, but especially for children. Learning to swim is a very smart job. However, swimming lessons do not make a child immune to drowning.

You should also watch for your child when there is water around you and do not leave him alone in the water. Many tragic incidents have happened just because of subjectivity.

Remember, knowing how to swim does not mean absolute safety.

An inflatable toy in a tank is a lifesaver

Forget this misunderstanding right away. Hand buoys, round buoys or inflatable ducks are not the same as life jackets. Similarly, the US National Safety Awareness Fund advises against allowing children to swim with floats.

Reason? A false sense of security can make it easier to turn your back while watching over a child.

Many clips that tear the heart when a child is caught in a swimming float and drowned are still there ...

Drowning is real

 

Drowning is also very dangerous

It is not only in the water that drowns. Then ashore can also drown dry. This is not everyone knows.

The reports of a child inhaling water and then dying are frightening for parents.

Drowning is predominantly in children. This is a relatively rare condition, but it is still possible. Worth mentioning, this risk is often overlooked, plus the lack of timely first aid skills makes the victim vulnerable to death. Recognizing the symptoms of dry drowning will be very helpful to ensure your child's safety. Drowning is a medical emergency that requires prompt action as it can affect a child's life.

If you are concerned after your baby has been swallowed or choked on water, doctors advise you to watch for a persistent cough, faster breathing rate, or contracting ribs while breathing.

If you notice these symptoms or are concerned for any reason, call your doctor.

You will know if they pretend

Remember how you scared your parents by floating your heads in the water? This doesn't mean that the person you see bobbing in the pool is just playing around. If you see someone silent and not moving, check to make sure they are okay. If you see someone lying on the bottom of the pool, take action immediately.

You can't have the trouble of 'joking around'.

 

Never play around with death

Have you heard the story of the shepherd boy? Likewise! No one used death to joke around.

Experts also warn that breathing a lot before diving or trying to hold your breath for as long as possible could cause you trouble. Specifically, you may lose consciousness in the water.

You can see how long the victim has been underwater

It only takes a second for a person to slip and fall into the pool. But they may go unnoticed by anyone. Drowning can occur within minutes. Being in water for 6 minutes may not be saved.

You don't know how long someone has been in the water, that's why you had to act quickly.

Have to jump into the water to save people

 

Floats or floats should be thrown to people who are drowning

If someone is in danger, approach them from the side or throw something to help them float (like a lifeline). Always jumping into the water can drown you in a panic attack, and put you at risk of drowning. If the victim loses consciousness, you will need to enter the water.

However, even experienced swimmers may find it difficult to pull the victim out of the water. So, if you are not confident about your swimming ability, call a rescue or find something floating.

Always need to breathe gas

After a drowning victim - an adult or a child - has been lifted out of the water, the first thing you want to do is lay them on their back on a flat surface and stretch their necks. That alone can make a big difference. Sometimes this angle can create enough discomfort to make the person start breathing.

Not necessarily CPR. Unless, you are an expert in this area.

Start with chest compressions in the gas breath

You have been advised to perform both mouth-to-mouth breathing and chest compressions. But many new skills have been updated that recommend manual first aid. However, this is true in heart emergencies, as if someone has had a stroke. In the case of drowning, the first step is to perform a suffocation, then chest compressions, and call an ambulance.

Hopefully, the misunderstanding about drowning will be cleared up. From there, tragic accidents caused by drowning will gradually disappear.
