what to do if somebody drowned

March 12, 2009

Note: In these kinds of situation, it helps knowing these things…

After taking him/her to shore. Remember the ABC (Airway, Breathing and Circulation).

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/first-aid-cpr/FA00061.

Our friend was wearing dentures. It caused his mouth to bleed; initially it was thought that the blood came from his lungs. So knowing a person profile help. Or if you don’t know if he’s wearing one check, to avoid drawing a wrong conclusion. It helps if you could find a medical professional. If you are many in your group assign somebody to look for one or assign yourself. Tip: it’s easier to shout MEDIC!!!

Mode of transport to nearest clinic or hospital. In our case it was almost an hour away. Do not make this your top priority! A few minutes of first aid is better that any hospital. Make sure he is breathing even if unconscious (in this situation that my least expected result).

Bring money. It might cause a delay in hiring your transport. Sad to say but not all people are willing to help if you don’t pay them. In our case I had a 100 php in my pocket at that time. Enough for a tricycle ride up to the hospital.

Hi Guys,

I have been reading a lot of things about anawangin. Surely it is a paradise. Other people are hesitant to go because of untoward incidents that had happened.

I’m pretty sure that you have heard there types of scenarios. they happen in gallera, anawangin, siargao, etc… I don’t want to blame untoward scenarios to these beautiful places. The beach, the mountains, or even in your own house has its dangers.

Persons drown because of strong underwater currents, undertows, and popular known as riptides. They can occur anywhere waves are breaking on shore.

I know a number of people has lost their lives due to this. They are dangerous but are relatively easy to escape if you stay calm. I think if people only knew what to do, there would be a lot less deaths. Here are some websites I found on how to survive an underwater current hope this helps and please pass to others:
