Submersion Incidents Objectives Describe briefly the general sequence of events at a submersion (drowning) incident. Describe the safest and most efficient means of removing a submersion victim from the water. Describe emergency treatment for a drowned patient. Describe how to prevent some drowning incidents. Describe situations that would require an evacuation versus a rapid evacuation. Participants can read Course Objectives at home. Prior to lecturing, instructors should review the most up to date Wilderness & Environmental Medicine (WEM) guidelines related to their talk: Prevention and Treatment of Drowning April 6, 2016 UpToDate drowning-submersion-injuries WFA Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines Schmidt AC, Sempsrott JR, Hawkins SC, Arastu AS, Cushing TA, Auerbach PS.

Submersion Incidents Guidelines for Recovering a Drowning Victim Plan for safe swimming conditions Ensure rescue aids and procedures discussed prior Continue to monitor safety of everyone else in the water Out-of-water assists are safer Stop rescue if risks unacceptable Follow the progression of Reach, Throw, Row, Go [Paraphrase] Guidelines for Recovering a Drowning Victim During a planned swimming activity in safe water conditions, Victim Assists should be relatively safe and easy. Rescue aids should be gathered and procedures discussed prior to the activity. Don’t neglect to monitor the safety of everyone else in the water when attention is focused on an individual in trouble. Out-of-water assists are safer for the responder. If conditions are unsafe and beyond your level of training, stop your rescue efforts if the risk becomes unacceptable. Follow the progression of Reach, Throw, Row, Go based on your level of training. WFA Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines ARC Wilderness and Remote First Aid Emergency Reference Guide

Submersion Incidents Caring for a Near-Drowned Person ABCs CPR if needed Diving headfirst = Head/Spinal injury Spinal precautions Treat for Shock Treat for hypothermia Treat underlying cause – Diabetic emergency [Paraphrase] Caring for a Near-Drowned Person If the person is unconscious and not breathing, give 2 rescue breaths. If the chest clearly rises, immediately begin CPR. DO NOT attempt to clear the person’s lungs of water. Be ready to roll the person to clear the airway if water or vomit comes up. Diving headfirst into shallow water is a major cause of sports-related spinal injury. If the person has a suspected head, neck or back injury, take steps to immobilize the spine. Care for shock, hypothermia or other conditions as appropriate, including anything that might have caused the person’s distress in the water (e.g., diabetic emergency).

Submersion Incidents Submersion Incidents – Prevention Supervise Participants screened for swimming Area screened for safety Buddy system No headfirst diving PFD as needed Training and helmets for whitewater activities NO alcohol or drugs [Paraphrase] Submersion Incidents – Prevention Supervise all water activities by a mature, conscientious adult trained to respond to water-related emergencies Prior screening for medical conditions that may require special precautions All participants should be able to swim 100 yards Area of swimming screened for safety Always have a buddy No headfirst diving Boating activities = Coast Guard approved lifejacket that fit properly. Proper training and helmets for whitewater activities Never swim or participate in water-based activities under the influence WFA Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines ARC Wilderness and Remote First Aid Emergency Reference Guide

Submersion Incidents Submersion Incidents – Rapid Evac Unconscious, no matter how short a time Respiratory problems after a submersion incident Ingested water during a submersion incident These situations can become life threatening. “Secondary drowning” - water gets into the lungs. There, it can irritate the lungs’ lining and fluid can build up, causing a condition called pulmonary edema. “Dry drowning” – laryngospasms nonfatal drowning result in decreased lung compliance, ventilation-perfusion mismatching, and intrapulmonary shunting, leading to hypoxemia that causes diffuse organ dysfunction Justice League WFA Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines ARC Wilderness and Remote First Aid Emergency Reference Guide
