water at least 5 feet deep
True or False?
For a submerged victim, you should use your tube to help you and the victim get to the surface before performing the manual in-line stabilization.
False.
Do not use your tube. You want as little movement as possible while keeping in-line stabilization for the victim. Rotate your victim and bring to surface at an angle. An assisting lifeguard can bring a tube to help support you or the victim after you have surfaced.
Ventilation ratio for child/infant?
