Before applying any of the resuscitation techniques, it is important to
make sure that nothing obstructs the passage of air into the victim's lungsfor
instance, food, water, the tongue, or some other object. Food or other
objects can be removed with the fingers. Have someone hold the tongue for
you if necessary, or tie a rubber band around it and loop the end around his
chin. If you have a safety pin, you can pin his tongue to his judogi.
In the case of a drowning victim, you should hrst drain the water from his
lungs by laying him face down, his head lower than his feet, and press
against his lower back. Then roll him over and apply the fnst so-katsu.
Ideally, a cylinder of some kind is rolled over the abdomen and chest. The
victim should be kept as warm as possible.

with his feet elevated, and be kept warm. Avoid giving him medication, and
send for a doctor at once.
