5. Learn To Resuscitate |
|
Even the most caring and vigilant parent can be affected by
a drowning or near drowning. The Queensland Injury
Surveillance Unit estimates that for every 1 child that
drowns, 14 are taken to emergency departments and 4 of those
are admitted to hospital.
|
| |
To prepare yourself for an emergency, learn resuscitation
and first aid techniques. Performing first aid at the
scene may increase the child’s chance of recovery or even
save a life.
St John Ambulance Australia and Life International Training are
great first aid providers. For more information visit their
