Unconscious Non-Breathing Procedure (Deep Water)

Unconscious Non-Breathing Procedure in Deep Water

Video shows how lifeguards should deal with a non-breathing, patient found in deep water.

Key Points:
* Breathing should not be assessed until all complications can be dealt with
* 5 Breaths should be given because of aquatic history
* Bathing suit would actually be cut away prior to application of AED pads.
