What Symptoms To Look For Ptsd?

My husband is a diver and today his fellow diver after decompression and coming on boat passed out and want breathing for a minute. He had pink froth stuff coming from his mouth. He's at the hospital getting taken care of but my husband is all the cpr/aid procedures and now is very sore and distracted. I'm wondering if this would cause ptsd and what signs to look for

it can cause post traumatic stress disorder due to the trauma he has gone through to be alive again,
the signs to look for -
- flashbacks of the incident that occured
- bad dreams
- frightening thoughts
