>>> A HEALTH ALERT YOU NEED TO
KNOW WHAT TO DO IF THERE IS AN
INCIDENT AT THE POOL OR WATER.
WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?
JOINING US Dr. SMITH, IT CAN
HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT.
REALLY ANY SUMMER ACTIVITY CAN
BE DANGEROUS, KIDS THINK THEY'RE
INVINCIBLE.
SO AS PARENTS OR JUST PEOPLE WHO
MAY BE WATCHING WHAT DO YOU DO
IF SOMETHING HAPPEN?
>>> FIRST OFF IS PREVENTION IS
KEY WITH DROWNING, OBVIOUSLY,
NEVER ALLOWING ANY NON-SWIMMING
CHILD TO BE OUT OF ARM'S REACH
ALL.
YOUNG KIDS CAN WANDER INTO A
POOL, WAND INTERTHE OCEAN AND
GET IN ABOVE THEIR HEADS
LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY.
>> THE MAIN THIN THING IS
ENSURING YOUR OWN SAFETY,.
SEEK OUT EQUIPMENT AROUND YOU,
SEEK OUT LIFEGUARDS AND IF
YOU'RE AROUND POOLS A LOT, SEEK
OUT WATER TRAINING SAFETY ONCE
YOU PULL SOMEONE OUT OF THE
CPR.
WE HEAR ABOUT COMPRESSION ONLY
CFR, WHEN IT COOLS TO DROWNING
WE NEED TO GIVE THE PERSON
VENTILATION AND RESCUE BREATH.
>> EXACTLY.
IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN AND IT IS
BEST TO GET FORMAL TRAINING AND
ADDITIONAL TRAYING WITH CPR.
>>> WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU'RE AT
THE POOL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU
SEE A KID, PULL THEM OUT WHAT DO
YOU DO?
WE HAVE THE OPROP HERE, THE
DUMMY.
>>> I'LL DO THE BEST I CAN TO
SHOW YOU REAL QUICK.
YOU NEED A FORMAL TRAINING.
FIRST OFF TAKE THE CHECK THE
PERSON, ARE YOU OKAY?
ARE YOU AWAKE.
NEXT CALL 911.
GET SOMEONE TO CALL 911.
REALLY NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO FOR
TH PATIEN
CHEST COMPRESSIONS ABOUT 100
TIMES A MINUTE AND INTERMITTENT
BREATHS INTO THE MOUTH.
WE SHOULD GET FORMAL TRAINING.
THE ONE THING I WANT TO LEAVE
WITH EVERYONE, DROWNING IS
DIFFERENT FROM CARDIAC ARREST
AND OLDER PATIENT WALK DOWN
STREET.
THIS IS THE REASON THE PERSON'S
HEART HAS STOPPED IS BECAUSE A
LACK OF OXYGEN.
>> I WAS GOING THE ASK WHAT IS
THE DEFENDANT ONE, THEY NEED
THAT AIR FLOW.
>>> THAT IS WHY THE PERSON'S
HEART STOPS IN A DROWNING CASE.
>>> YOU'RE SAYING TO GET THE
FORMAL TRAINING, ESPECIALLY IF
YOU HAVE KIDS, IT IS SO
IMPORTANT AND YOU MENTIONED
KEEPING THOSE KIDS THEY HAVE SO
MUCH OUT THERE, THEY HAVE THESE
TOYS THAT YOU GET AT THE POOL
LIKE MOM MY AND ME SWIMMERS, CAN
YOU TALK ABOUT THOSE.
>>> THE MAIN THING TO REMEMBER
WITH FLOTATIONING DEVICE IT I
OFTEN GIVES US A FALSE SENSE OF
SECURITY.
I'VE SEEN PARENTS PUT THEIR KIDS
IN A FLOAT AND WALK AWAY.
ESPECIALLY IF THEY THINK THERE
IS A LIFEGUARD THERE.
KEEP THEM IN ARM'S REACH.
FLOTATION DEVICES MAY HELP BUT
CAN NEVER, EVER, REPLACE HOLDING
YOUR CHILD'S HAND OR ARM AND
KEEPING IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH
THEM.
>> THE FIRST STEP, AGAIN, 911.
>> A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL RESCUE
CAN PROVIDE GOOD CARE AT THE
BEACH OR AT THE POOL.
BUT DEFINITIVE CARE NEEDS TO BE
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.
>>> HOW LONG CAN SOMEBODY GO
UNCONSCIENCE?
IF YOU ARE HESITANT IN?
I WOULD JUMP IN AND GIVE MOUTH
TO MOUTH WITH A COMPLETE
GO.
>>> UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCEN
BETWEEN CARDIAC ARREST OF HEART
ATTACK AND DROWN.
>>> IF SOMEONE COLLAPSES ON THE
STREET FROM A HEART AT TAKE THAT
MAY HAVE THREE, FOUR, FIVE
MINUTES THAT THEY CAN GO OUT
VENTILATION, A DROWNING MEANT
THAT IS A SIGN THEY HAVEN'T HAD
MINUTES.
ONCE YOU PL THEM OUT THEY'RE ON
THE DOWNSLOPE THE DEATH.
BEAT.
>>>, STAYING ALIVE.
>>> IT IS PROBABLY HARD TO
IMAGINE THAT WHEN YOU'RE IN A
FRANTIC SITUATION.
>> WE USE IT EVERY DAY IN THE
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT.
>>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND WE HAVE HIT ON VERY
IF YOU MISSED ANY OF THOSE WE'LL
