In places where there are bodies of water, there is always a danger of drowning. In winter, fishermen may not calculate the thickness of the ice and end up trapped in ice. And in the warm season, the number of victims increases several times. Any person who is a good swimmer should know the rules for rescuing a drowning person on the water. After all, having the necessary information, you can not only help a person, but also protect yourself from an accident.

You must be able to calculate your strength and act very quickly. After all, a person’s life is in your hands, and any delay is fraught with grave consequences. In the first minutes, it is much easier to resuscitate a drowning person. After all, the water will not yet have time to enter the alveoli of the lungs.

Causes of tragic incidents

While on vacation, people relax, lose the ability to think rationally and often overestimate their strength. Those who know how to swim try to swim far into the sea, showing their skills. Having warmed up in the sun, beachgoers go to cool off in the cold water. Not everyone knows that a sudden change in temperature can cause a cramp in the leg or arms. The parents were distracted and did not look after the child. Children do not yet have a sense of fear and can go deep without understanding the consequences.

A separate group includes extreme sports enthusiasts who are chasing adrenaline, doing everything necessary for this. They swim in a storm, jump from a cliff into the water, and go on a rubber boat far out to sea. People who are intoxicated often become victims of deep water. They, as the saying goes, are knee-deep in the sea.

The first signs of a drowning person

Before you rush into the water to save a drowning person, you need to make sure that the person is really drowning. How can this be recognized from the shore?

1. The position of a drowning person's body is usually vertical.
2. His hands are raised up, and he seems to be trying to grab something with them. But in reality he just splashes his hands on the water.
3. The head rises above the water and then disappears.
4. At first, a person can scream and call for help, but if he no longer has the strength, he remains silent. Children almost always do not scream, but simply open their mouths wide in horror, trying to grab air.
5. If a person does not answer the question: “Are you all right?”, then this is a sign of trouble that has happened to him.

First actions of the rescuer

Before you rush to save a drowning man, you need to think about the situation. Be sure to ask someone to call water rescue and emergency services. If possible, you need to quickly take off your clothes. If this cannot be done, then you need to at least turn the pockets outward. Be sure to take off your shoes. After all, water quickly accumulates, which interferes with movements and pulls strongly to the bottom.

It makes sense to throw yourself into the water to save a drowning person if the rescuer can swim well. Health allows you to withstand strong loads, since a drowning person can instinctively grab his rescuer tightly, hit him, pull him to the bottom, and drown him. You need to be prepared for such a turn of events and know how to get out of the strong hands of a desperate person.

You also need to check where it is best to start rescuing a drowning person. It is advisable to choose the closest point on the shore. It is better to run more along the shore than to swim further on the water. You should also not jump into the water in an unfamiliar place, as there may be pitfalls there. Need to come in quickly.

When rescuing a person, take some kind of floating device with you: an inflatable ring, a ball, a board. Any object that a drowning person can grab onto will be useful. Otherwise, he will have to hold on only to you and it will be a problem to bring him to shore.

If you have to rescue a fisherman who has fallen under the ice, then you cannot approach him while standing, you must advance while lying on the ice. You can give him a long stick, a net, a ladder, or a whole fishing rod. You can create a chain of people lying on the ice and holding each other. This will be the safest way.

How to provide assistance correctly?

To quickly swim to a drowning person, it is better to use the crawl style of swimming. You should always approach the victim from behind. Since a person experiencing a panic state is able to hit you, start drowning you, block your movements and pose a threat. This must be remembered and guarded against.

If you can’t swim up to him from behind, then you need to dive under the person and grab him tightly under the knee. With your free hand, sharply push the other knee forward and, thus, turn the victim’s back to you.

When the drowning person is already with his back to you, you need to grab his armpit with your right hand with your right hand and, holding it tightly, float to the surface of the water. You need to move towards the shore on your back, supporting the person’s head above the water.

How to protect yourself?

Actions when rescuing a drowning person are associated with great risk. A drowning person is frightened, in a state of shock and may grab his rescuer with his hands. This threatens the death of a person who wants to help. You need to be able to act correctly in such situations and, without losing your mind, use force to free yourself from the deadly embrace.

When getting rid of the grip, you need to twist, press on your chin, twist your arms in the opposite direction, but do not let go. You need to try to wriggle out sharply, while explaining and reassuring the person with words.

How to tow a drowning person to shore?

Methods for rescuing drowning people can be different, depending on the situation and how much the person resists and in what condition he is. As a rule, a person is towed while lying on his back or side. You can hold him by the head, armpits, by the arm in the shoulder area, by the hair or collar if he is wearing clothes.

When delivering a person to shore, you need to carefully ensure that his head is above the surface of the water at all times so that it does not get into his respiratory tract. When a rescuer swims sideways, he can navigate the terrain and choose the shortest route for rescue.

If the lifeguard had the opportunity to take life-saving equipment from the shore, such as a circle or a ball, that people have on the beach, then the drowning person must be forced to clasp them with his hands. Of course, if the person is still conscious.

Types of drowning

The actions to take when rescuing a drowning person depend on the type of drowning. There are three types of them.

1. White asphyxia, otherwise this type is also called imaginary drowning. From fear of water getting into the lungs, a person reflexively experiences a spasm, breathing stops and the heart stops. Such a drowned person can be revived after 20 minutes.
2. Blue asphyxia occurs when water enters the alveoli of the lungs. It is easy to understand this by a person's appearance. The face, ears, lips, fingers acquire a purple tint to the skin. This one needs to be rescued urgently; the rescuer only has 5 minutes left.
3. The next type of drowning occurs when there is depression of nervous processes. This happens under the influence of alcohol or hypothermia of the body. Rescue is given from 5 to 10 minutes.

First aid

When rescuing a drowning person, you must first check for breathing and a heartbeat. If vital signs are present, then you need to remove his wet clothes and lay him down so that his head is down or on his side. Cover with a warm blanket. If a person is able to drink, then you can give him a warm drink.

When a person is unconscious, you need to get down on one knee, put the person with his stomach on the other knee, head down. Try to clear the sand from his mouth and straighten his tongue forward to prevent it from sticking. The water that has entered the body should pour out. Only after this should resuscitation begin. According to the rules for rescuing a drowning person, you need to do artificial respiration and chest compressions.

Resuscitation measures

To carry out artificial respiration, a person is placed on a hard surface with a cushion under the neck. For a person to begin to breathe, his lungs must fill with air. To do this, the rescuer takes a deep breath, bends over the mouth of the drowned person and exhales into his respiratory tract. If the chest rises, it means that air has entered his lungs. This should be done every 1-2 seconds. There should be at least 30 exhalations per minute.

During breaks, cardiac massage is performed. It's better when it's done by a second person. The palms of two hands are placed on the person’s chest in the area of ​​the heart, one on top of the other. Rhythmically and strongly pressing on the sternum. You need to do 15 presses in 10 seconds. Resuscitation continues until the person comes to his senses. This can happen for quite a long time. But under no circumstances should we stop. According to statistics, most of the rescued people did not survive only because resuscitation efforts were stopped.

Be sure to call an ambulance, because rescuing a drowning person in the water is a lengthy process.

The rescue of a drowning person, contrary to the popular saying, much more often becomes the work of those around him, and not of himself. Most often, people drown while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as well as swimming at night and/or in unfamiliar places.

What to do if you see a drowning person? Assess the situation and, of course, try to help without getting hurt yourself (unfortunately, there are many sad cases when brave people overestimated their capabilities and skills, drowning along with the one they wanted to save). Therefore, let us remind you: knowledge of the basics and rules, and not a subjective assessment of one’s strengths, is what can really save a life.

What are the basic rules for saving drowning people?

How can you tell if a person is drowning?

First, let's figure out how to understand whether a person needs help. The statistics are sad: most people have no idea what a drowning person looks like.

Let's dispel the most important (and most dangerous) myth in this topic. A drowning person does not wave his arms, does not scream or call for help. A drowning person has a different behavior:

• the person behaves very quietly, because his breathing is confounded - he can neither scream nor simply speak;
• often dives underwater, emerging from the water to scoop up some air, so only the mouth can be visible from the water;
• a drowning person does not wave his arms, but uses them to stay afloat as much as possible;
• the eyes are closed, the person remains upright, but does not move his legs;
• a drowning person may try to swim away, but the movements lead to nothing;
• a person does not react to speech addressed to him (a drowning person is simply not able to do this);
• may try to roll over onto his back.

Shore rescue (boat)

In some cases, you can help a drowning person without having to rush into the water. To attract the attention of others, a fail-safe method is to cry for help. There may be good swimmers or a professional lifeguard nearby. In any case, you should try to throw to the drowning person some object that floats well on the water; even a large plastic bottle with a wrapped cap will somehow support the drowning person on the surface. The best thing to do is use a rope or a long stick that you can grab with your hands.

Water rescue

In such a stressful situation, do not forget that you should not rush into the water to save a person if you yourself have insufficient swimming skills. As they say, nine to one, in this case two people die - both the person being saved and the rescuer. Such, unfortunately, are the statistics. And a completely different rule: if you are an excellent swimmer, then, without hesitation for a long time, throw yourself into the water, there is no choice, seconds count, your determination will be rewarded with a saved human life. Of course, you should quickly remove your clothes and shoes first so that there is no interference in the water. If this happens on a river, then the speed of the current must be taken into account; they swim up to the drowning person from the side from which he does not see the rescuer, because he is grasping at straws, there is a risk that he can drown you too.
How to transport a person being rescued? There are several ways, but practice shows that it is best to drag the victim to the shore on his back or on his side. The rescuer takes the drowning person by the chin with both hands so that his head is always above the surface, and he himself floats on his back, while using his legs using the breaststroke method.

If the person being rescued is transported on his side, then the rescuer’s legs can also work using the crawl method, then one of his arms also participates in rowing. It happens that the victim is especially excited, resists the rescuer, and interferes with him. In such cases, the right hand is inserted between the back and the right arm of the drowning person to his left shoulder, while the rescuer rows towards the shore or boat with his left hand, and pushes off with breaststroke with his legs; this method is very effective, even if the victim is larger and weighs more than the rescuer.
Of course, it is best to acquire water rescue skills in advance by practicing your actions to the point of automaticity, for example, in the warm summer in a river or lake. Such training should be carried out on the sea coast with safety nets, since any sea near the coast has dangerous currents that even a good swimmer cannot cope with. If you find yourself in such a “scrape”, when you are simply pulled into the sea, despite active resistance, then do not try to row to the shore, wasting your last strength, row along the shore, and after 20-30 meters you will leave the deadly rip current.
In general, rescuing a drowning person and transporting him is not an easy task, hard and dangerous work. You need to be prepared for it both physically and mentally. And if the victim was brought to the surface of the earth or into a boat, then it is immediately necessary to provide him with first aid.

First aid for a drowning person on the shore

If the victim is conscious, but scared, cold, then the body should be rubbed with a dry cloth, towel, dressed in dry clothes, wrapped in a blanket, and given a hot drink.
If you are unconscious, but breathing and the pulse is palpable, then ammonia and rubbing with a dry towel will help.
If there is no breathing and a weak pulse, immediately call an ambulance and begin artificial respiration before it arrives.
Clear his mouth and nose of mucus and dirt, place the victim with his stomach on your bent leg so that his head is down, press several times on the torso, thereby freeing the victim’s stomach and lungs from water. Then proceed directly to artificial respiration: the victim is placed on his back with his head thrown back, the larynx should not be closed with the tongue.

It is necessary to kneel at the side of the head, pinch his nose with one hand, support his neck and head with the other, and then exhale deeply through the handkerchief into his mouth, while the victim’s chest rises and then falls. After waiting 1-2 seconds, blow air again. And so on for 30-40 seconds at a fast pace, and then at a slower pace. If the rescued person does not breathe independently, immediately begin chest compressions. With your palms, at a rhythm of 50-70 times per minute, give vigorous short pushes to the lower part of the victim’s sternum. Alternate indirect cardiac massage with artificial respiration until the ambulance arrives.

You have to fight for a person to the end. There are examples when life returned to a drowned man an hour and a half after the start of first aid. As soon as he regains independent breathing, it means you have won - and you must not leave the victim unattended for a second, because... Cardiopulmonary resuscitation may be required again at any time

The main cause of drowning is the obstruction of the airways by liquid, often water. If correct first aid is provided in a timely manner, a person can be saved, so now we will tell you how to save a drowning person in the water.

According to statistics, when assistance is provided a minute after drowning, about 90% of people can be saved. After 6-7 minutes, close to 1-3% can be saved. Most often, a person drowns due to his ignoring the safety rules for being on the water, fatigue, prolonged exposure to cold water, injury during diving, alcohol intoxication and other situations. Also, the threat of drowning occurs when.

First aid for rescuing a drowning person on the water

When you see a drowning person, you need to quickly run to the nearest shore. If a drowning person is on the surface of the water, you must calm him down. If this does not help, swim up to the drowning person from behind, grab him and pull him to the shore. If, in a state of stress, a drowning person frantically hugs you, try to dive into the water with him. At such a moment, he will probably let go of the rescuer in order to remain on the surface. This is a subconscious action.

If you see that a drowning person is sinking to the bottom, dive and swim along the bottom. If there is good visibility underwater, swim with your eyes open, in this case your rescue actions will be faster. If you approach a drowning person, grab him by the hair, arm or armpit and float to the surface with him. To do this, push off the bottom as hard as you can and row vigorously with your legs and free arm to paddle toward the shore and.

The main methods of transporting a victim to the shore:

• take the victim’s head by the chin from behind on both sides with your palms, row your feet towards the shore;


• put your left hand under the armpit of his left hand and, grabbing the wrist of the drowning man’s right hand, row to the shore (you will have one arm and legs);


• Take the drowning person by the hair with one hand, place his head on your forearm and move towards the shore, holding his head above the water.

Assistance provided on shore

If possible, help the person anyway, whether it be water accident, a natural disaster or a person simply did not adhere to safety rules.

The victim is conscious

When you swim to the shore, provide first aid to the victim, first determining his condition. If he is conscious, has a pulse and is breathing, to provide assistance you must lay him on a dry, hard surface with his head bowed low. Remove the victim's wet clothes and dry them with your hands or a dry towel. If possible, give him something hot to drink (not only tea and coffee, but also a little alcohol is suitable for this), wrap him in a warm blanket and let him rest a little.

The victim is unconscious, but has a pulse and breathing

In this case, tilt his head back and extend his lower jaw. The head should be bowed low. You need to use your finger to free his mouth from silt, mud and vomit. Wipe the rescued person and warm him up.

The victim is unconscious, there is no breathing, but there is a pulse

If a person is not breathing, but the pulse is preserved (the heart is beating), then the victim needs to be given artificial respiration, having first cleared the airways.

No breathing, no pulse

If the victim is not breathing and a pulse is palpable, perform artificial respiration and cardiac massage.

Transporting a drowning person to a medical facility

After cardiac activity is restored, the victim must be transported to the nearest medical facility. To transport the victim, place him on the stretcher on his side and lower the headrest. It is important to hospitalize a person quickly, as there is a danger of developing secondary drowning, during which acute respiratory failure, chest pain, cough, shortness of breath, agitation, a feeling of lack of air, coughing up blood, and increased heart rate occur. Within 15-72 hours after rescue there is a risk of developing pulmonary edema.
