How to Restore the Apparently Drowned
Instructions urged immediate action after water rescue. Start breathing efforts on the spot, remove obstructions, and lay out the body for air flow. Use bellows-like chest compressions with a firm roll, then roll the patient to raise the head, keep breaths regular, and avoid delaying warm clothing. After breathing begins, warm the patient, give fluids, and monitor for convulsions. A Michigan health board note urges perseverance and two hours of possible success.
