Treatment

1. Start mouth-to-mouth ventilation (see Absence of Breathing). Do not stop until the victim breathes on his or her own again or medical help arrives.

2. If the victim begins coughing or spurting water from their nose and mouth, you should turn them on their side. This will aid water removal from the lungs, keeping the victim's head lower than the rest of the body.

3. Once the victim is breathing naturally, keep him/her warm.

4. Call a doctor as soon as possible.
