Algorithm BLS: Near each grade the general mortality (%) is shown. Heimlich maneuver is only indicated with strong suspicion of foreign body obstruction; There is no difference in basic life support between different types of water drowning. (*)If the victim is grade 5, ventilation in-water can reduce mortality by almost 50%. CPA (Cardiopulmonary Arrest). References with the author <[email protected]> <www.szpilman.com>
Give 2 mouth to mouth breaths and check for signs of circulation
Start complete CPR with 15 external chest compressions and
alternate with 2 breaths until normal cardiopulmonary function is restored, ambulance arrives or
lifeguard exhaustion. After successful CPR, the victim should be followed as close as possible because
another CPA may occur.
Continue mouth to mouth at 12 to
20 p/min until restore normal
breath

1. 15 liters/min of oxygen by face mask. 2. Monitor breathing with care (may still stop breathing). 3. Right side recovery position. 4. ACLS immediately with
mechanical ventilation and I.V fluids. 5.
Hospitalization in ICU required
After restoring spontaneous
breathing and pulse, treat as grade 4
Warning: if any suspicion of cervical
spine injury(0,5%), be careful while open
airways - use special techniques to do so.
Hospitalization
Check for breathing - Open airways - look, listen and feel for respiration
Check the victim in-waterConscious victim: bring back to shore/pool deck.; Unconscious victim - Shallow water: open victim’s airway, evaluate breathing, and begin mouth to mouth if necessary. Deep water: place the victim face up and open airway.
If no spontaneous breathing, start mouth-to-mouth ventilation immediately at a rate of 12 to 20/min until reaching shore/swimming pool deck*. Mouth-to-mouth is possible in the water with 2 lifeguards or 1 lifeguard with lifesaving equipment. Do not check victim’s pulse while in the water. If no signs of circulation, don’t start chest compressions in-water, urgently bring the victim back to shore without further procedures.
On shore/pool deck - victim’s trunk and head should be at same level, even in sloping sitesDo not spend time trying to drain water from the lungs. Victim position of head lower than trunk will increase the occurrence of vomit or regurgitation. On sloping beaches all the victims should be put initially parallel to the waterline, in
dorsal position. Lifeguard with his back to the sea with the victim’s head turned to lifeguard´s left side. This facilitates the rescuers CPR maneuvers so that he does not fall over the victim and makes placing the victim in right lateral decubitus easier.
Victim transport to shore/pool deck should be with head up (except for hypothermic victim)
Submersion time over 1 hour or obvious physical evidence of death (rigor mortis,
putrefaction or dependent lividity).
