Recent epidemiologic data have shown that the burden of drowning is much greater than expected. Prevention and timely rescue are the most effective means of reducing the number of persons at risk. Early bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the most important factor for survival after submersion.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1993
The incidence, epidemiology, and pathophysiology of drowning and near-drowning are presented. Particular attention is paid to the neurologic and pulmonary pathophysiology indicators for monitoring and laboratory tests. Special attention to transportation of patients is given, and treatment in the field, emergency department, and pediatric intensive ...

AbstractWater immersion is a frequent cause of accidental death and hospital admission. This article outlines the pathogenesis and principles of treatment. Drowning is defined as death by asphyxia due to submersion in a liquid medium. Near‐drowning is defined as immediate survival after asphyxia due to submersion.

Drowning is one of the three leading causes of accidental death. Dry drowning, the type in which no water enters the trachea, responds readily to resuscitation efforts. The current concept of drowning recognizes few differences between saltwater and freshwater aspiration; the therapeutic approach is the same for both types.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America
Drowning is responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide, and it is estimated that 90% of drownings are preventable. Drowning is defined as "the process of experiencing respiratory impairment from submersion/immersion in liquid." Emergency providers should focus on airway management and rapid delivery of oxygen to interrupt the ...

Drowning, Near-Drowning, and Ice-Water Drowning
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1988Drowning has become an accident of affluence. As pointed out in the article by O'Carroll et AL1in this issue ofTHE JOURNAL, close to 50% of all drowning accidents in Los Angeles County occur in swimming pools. Drowning is now the second leading cause of accidental death in children and the second leading cause of years of potential life lost.

International Anesthesiology Clinics, 1977
Several conditions that contribute to drowning and near drowning must be considered in the treatment of near-drowned victims. Regardless of the cause, mechanical ventilation should begin as soon as possible and closed-chest cardiac massage should be administered when there is any question about the adequacy of cardiac output. After aspiration of either

Submersion accidents continue to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children and adults. The key to successful management is prevention of these accidents. Proactive efforts to minimize submersion accidents in the community should be made by medical and legislative groups. Anticipatory guidance by primary care physicians, particularly

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1992
Many thousands of individuals are near drowning victims each year in this country. The majority of these will be young, previously healthy people. The key to their successful outcome and return to productive, full lives is aggressive resuscitation by emergency physicians and prehospital care providers.
