![Drowning types
There are two classifications of drowning:
1. Wet drowning
2. Dry drowning
o In wet drowning, the person has inhaled water which
interferes with respiration and causes the circulatory
system to collapse.
oIn dry drowning, the airway closes up due to spasms
caused by the presence of water. [b]

![6. Repeat if Person Is Still Not Breathing
• If you've been trained in CPR, you can now open
the airway by tilting the head back and lifting the
chin.
• Pinch the nose of the victim closed. Take a normal
breath, cover the victim's mouth with yours to create
an airtight seal, and then give 2 one-second breaths
as you watch for the chest to rise.
• Give 2 breaths followed by 30 chest compressions.
• Continue this cycle of 30 compressions and 2
breaths until the person starts breathing or
emergency help arrives. [c]

![What is CPR?
• CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
It’s a life saving medical procedure which is
given to someone who is in cardiac arrest. It
helps to pump blood around the person's body
when their heart can’t. [d]

- 7. 4. If the Person is Not Breathing, Check Pulse • Check the person's pulse for 10 seconds. 5. If There is No Pulse, Start CPR • For an adult or child, place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest at the nipple line. You can also push with one hand on top of the other. For an infant place two fingers on the breastbone. • For an adult or child, press down at least 2 inches. Make sure not to press on ribs. For an infant press down about 1 and 1/2 inches. Make sure not to press on the end of the breastbone. • Do chest compressions only, at the rate of 100-120 per minute or more. Let the chest rise completely between pushes. • Check to see if the person has started breathing. 7
