Vietnam is a country with a long coastline and a rich river system, so drowning is always a danger for everyone, especially children. In addition to the need for proactive measures to prevent children from drowning, knowing how to properly provide first aid for drowning in children also plays an important role in giving children more chances of survival.

Drowning is a common accident in children, especially in the summer. If detected and treated late, the child may die or if he/she survives, he/she will be left with serious sequelae. Therefore, early detection and good first aid are important keys to help drowning children recover better.

Artificial respiration and external cardiac massage are the most basic first aid methods when encountering a person with cardiac arrest or suffocation. However, the most important factor that determines the effectiveness of first aid is that the rescuer must have a good understanding of artificial respiration techniques.

No parent wants their child to be in danger, but in reality, there will be unforeseen events. Children are often very curious and active, and can encounter dangerous situations such as choking on food, falling into water... at any time. At that time, if adults perform first aid and artificial respiration correctly, they will contribute positively to saving the child's life.

A first aid kit includes the tools and supplies needed for initial first aid. A first aid kit should be available everywhere (at home, in the car, at work, in public places...) so that it can be used immediately when situations requiring first aid arise.
