with Andrew W. Warner ( 12 / 7 / 21 )
drowning- the process of experiencing respiratory impairment from submerging in liquid
-Sobering Up on STATS
can affect me, my family, and community
under a year old babies die in bathtubs; adults distracted by phones
1-4 dies in pools; not watched, try exploring, never properly learned
we are explorers by nature
14-17: independently want to swim and end up making bad decisions with no one to help them
males make worse decisions (1/1000 females drown)
Hispanics drown the least (no idea why)
-Victim
hot day, 25 people in the pool, someones drowns and 3 minutes the life guard notices
unresponsive, no pulse, no breathing
lifeguard calls EMS and then starts CPR (starting too late)
can become hypodermic
-Facts
500,000 drowning victims
90% of drowning occurs in poor countries
188,00 in mobile
-Myths
dry and wet drowning is not a thing
no "near drowning"
both salt and fresh water are BAD
all victims require cervical collars
Then Mr.Andrew then stuck down a stick with a camera to show us how the vocal cord hole moves with every breath. Then his assistant showed up how to drill a needle into the bone marrow.
