Helping Turns Hazardous
Abstract
Floods along with deep and rushing water often accompany hurricanes. These lead to sequelae of drowning, near drowning, trauma, and hypothermic patients. Each patient’s care should be dictated by the ABCs (airway, breathing, circulation) and reevaluations are critical for appropriate resuscitations.
