HELP IN CASE OF ACCIDENT
Drowning. — 1. Loosen clothing if any. 2. Empty lungs
of water by laying body on stomach and lifting it by middle so
that the head hangs down. Jerk the body a few times. 3. Pull
tongue forward, using handkerchief, or pin with string if neces
sary. 4. Imitate motion of respiration by alternately compress
ing and expanding the lower ribs about twenty times a minute.
Alternately raising and lowering the arms from the sides up
above the head will stimulate the action of the lungs. Let it be
done gently but persistently. 5. Apply warmth and friction to
extremities. 6. By holding the tongue forward, closing the
nostrils and pressing the"Adam's Apple"back (so as to close
the entrance to the stomach), direct inflation can be tried.
Take a deep breath and breathe forcibly into the mouth of
the patient, compress the chest to expel the air and repeat the
operation. 7. Don't give up. People have been saved after
hours of patient, vigorous effort. 8. When breathing begins
get patient into a warm bed, give warm drinks of spirits in
teaspoonfuls, fresh air and quiet.
