After you find a victim who is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no pulse as result of drowning, should do what?

If you find a victim who is unresponsive, not breathing, and has no pulse as a result of drowning, here's what you should do:

1. Call for Help Immediately:

- Call emergency services (911 or your local emergency number) as soon as possible. Provide the location, victim's condition, and any relevant details.

2. Check for Responsiveness:

- Gently shake the person and call out loudly to check if they respond.

3. Start Chest Compressions:

- If there's no response, begin CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) by delivering chest compressions.

- Place the victim on a firm, flat surface.

- Position the heel of one hand on the center of the person's chest between the nipples.

- Place your other hand on top of the first one and interlock your fingers.

- Use your upper body weight to deliver rapid and forceful chest compressions.

- Perform 30 compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute.

- Allow the chest to fully recoil after each compression.

4. Rescue Breaths:

- After 30 compressions, tilt the person's head back and lift their chin slightly to open the airway.

- Pinch their nose shut and cover their mouth with yours, delivering two rescue breaths.

- Make sure their chest rises with each breath. Allow air to escape between breaths.

5. Continue CPR Cycles:

- Repeat the cycle of 30 chest compressions and two rescue breaths in a continuous sequence.

- Maintain the ratio of 30:2 until the person starts breathing or professional help arrives.

6. Use an AED (if available):

- If an automated external defibrillator (AED) is accessible, use it as soon as possible.

- Follow the voice prompts provided by the AED and attach the electrode pads according to the instructions.

7. Support and Monitor:

- If the person starts breathing, place them in a recovery position and monitor their breathing and pulse until help arrives.

- Continue monitoring the victim to ensure their airway remains clear and their breathing remains consistent.

8. Stay Calm and Receptive to Instructions:

- Remain calm throughout the ordeal. If emergency responders arrive, follow their instructions without delay.

Nota:

Remember that performing CPR and rescue breaths properly requires training and certification. It's important to seek appropriate CPR training to effectively respond to emergencies.
