We were courious is a CPAP could be used in a chamber when a drowning victim or diving victim had fluids in the lungs. There will be new training standards and Standing Orders issued next year as more units purchase CPAPs and use them. We had a drowing victim this summer . He had recent cardiac surgery and probably should not have been swimming anyway. He may have been diving ( against the recommendation of his doctor I would guess). Just curious if anyone tested the equipments possible uses! Thanks for the reply.
