Emergency doctors offer pool safety tips With warm weather upon us, many families are spending a lot of time at the pool. But with the report of a spike in the number ofdrowningdeathsamongyoung children spar king a renewed public pub-lic debate over the safety of cheap inflatable pools in particular, it maybe time for parents to review the rules of water safety. "Drowning is one of the leading lead-ing causes of death among children chil-dren ages 1 to 4, in part because it can happen so quickly," said American College of Emergency Physicians President Dr. Linda L. Lawrence. Lawrence cited a new report from the Consumer Product and Safety Commission which found that the annual number of drowning deaths involving children chil-dren under age 5 had increased to 283 for 2003-2005, up from 267 in 2002-2004. Most of these deaths and injuries occur in homes and yards, and involve children under ... age 2, according to the report. "It only takes a few seconds for a child to drown, and small children can drown in just a few inches of water - in a bathtub, a toilet or a bucket," Lawrence said. "Moreover, for every child who drowns, more than 10 children chil-dren are treated in emergency departments for near drowning." drown-ing." Because of these dangers, parents need to keep a close eye on their children when they are near any water sources, especially espe-cially pools, streams, lakes or at , the beach. In addition, parents need to know the limits of their child's ability to swim and to set firm ground rules for play around the water, and never leave kids unsupervised. ' Finally, while drowning occurs most often among small children and people who can't swim, "even experienced swimmers may be susceptible, depending on weather conditions, water currents, their health and other circumstances," Lawrence said. She offered the following pool safety tips: Never leave babies or young children unattended near tubs, pools or buckets of water - even for a few seconds. Teach your children to swim. Never allow children to swim alone or without adult supervision. supervi-sion. They should only swim in places that are supervised, and preferably with a lifeguard on duty. Install safety fences with child-proof latches around swimming swim-ming pools. Remind children never to dive into unfamiliar water. Never drink alcohol and swim. Lawrence said if a person appears to be drowning - is flailing in the water, yelling for help, coughing or going under, or appears to be unconscious or floating in the water - check the area, alert a lifeguard if one is nearby, then call 911 or your local emergency number. In addition, she said: Do not attempt to rescue a drowning person while in the water yourself unless you are trained to do so and have life-saving life-saving equipment. People who are drowning may panic and pull you underwater with them; dangerous circumstances - such as strong currents or rip tides - may also endanger you. If possible, reach out with or throw an object that floats to the person from a secure out-of-water position, such as a boat, a swimming pool ladder or a dock. i For a person pulledrom,the water, tilt the head back, lift the chin and check for breathing and other signs of life. Expel fluid or other objects from the mouth. If the person is not breathing, breath-ing, give two slow rescue breaths. If rescue breaths go in, begin CPR. If rescue breaths do not go in, reposition the airway and reattempt. Continue uninterrupted CPR until advanced life support is available.
