In Canada we're taught differently. The dummies are pretty cool! We are taught to get an actual submerged person from the water then use both our hands to support their chin and neck. Once we get to the wall we put their arms crossed on the deck, tilt their head back hold them down to get ourself out then twirl them around facing away. Then we hold their wrists from under the armpit and hold their wrist tight to their chest then lift them up on the count of three and then do cpr right away!
@melissavmorais Sorry, I don't know quite what you mean when you say the you twirl them around. Do you mean the as they are lifted out of the water, they are facing back the pool and are sat on the poolside. I trust this is still a two person manoeuvre?
The Ligaments Subscapular Bursa, Capsular and Coracoacramail along with other ligmaents hold the shoulder ball in place with in the socket. The muscles on their own would be to springy. The only way a dislocation could happen is if the casualty was violently jerked out of the water. With the correct force and smooth movement a casualty can be extracated with no harm to either them or the rescuers. Are you thinking about becoming a lifeguard? How is it done in Canada?
I am sorry you feel that this is an improper procedure in the removal of an unconscious casualty, however that is how it is done and has been for many years. In the event that a casualty is, shall we say, to heavy for this type of extrication then we would team lift or use a spine board at the shallow end of the pool. Lets hope that you never require the help of a lifeguard.
Of course there is different methods, our countries seem to use different ones :)
