*If person was drowning, do not attempt to remove water from person.
"There is no evidence that water acts as an obstructive foreign body, and time should not be wasted in attempting to
remove water from the victim. Such maneuvers can cause injury but—more importantly—will delay CPR, particularly
support of airway and ventilation."
