Abstract des Autors

Basically, scuba rescue techniques involve bringing the victim to the surface, establishing flotation, initiating ventilation with the mouth-to-mouth or mouth-to-snorkel method, and continuing rescue breathing while towing the victim to safety. This article describes a rescue method using selected scuba regulators for in-water breathing. The authors emphasize that only regulators tested to have appropriate pressure are safe to use. They describe how to test regulators and list rules for safe rescue using the regulator. Students should be exposed to as many rescue methods as possible and select the most appropriate for each situation. Verf.-Referat
