The incidence of survival of comatose hospital patients decreased by 29% from 1975 to 1995 (95% CI, -78% to +125%). We found no evidence that trends in medical treatment prevented any deaths due to drowning in 1995.Drowning incidence in King County, Washington, declined because of a ...
These include: providing lifeguards, skilled rescuers, or adult supervision for young children in swimming areas; avoiding aggressive boating practices; avoiding the use of intoxicants; and wearing personal flotation devices.TREATMENTResuscitative efforts for the drowning victim should begin in the ...
The outlook for a drowning victim is excellent if they arrive in the hospital alert and breathing on their own. For patients in a coma, the prognosis depends upon how long they were underwater and how long it took to start artificial respiration and breathing. The prognosis also depends upon...
Water 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 ...
Further Treatment in the Hospital In most cases of near-drowning, the victim's outcome has already been largely determined by what has happened before and during their time in the ER. The primary goal of treatment in the ICU, therefore, is to prevent any further damage to the neurological ...
Diving as a cause of drowning has been neglected statistically, and there are only limited data on the interaction between near drowning, compressed gas diving, decompression illness and treatment. Theoretically, near drowning should decrease inert gas elimination because of induced changes in ...

What is the prehospital treatment? The most important part of treatment of a near-drowning victim is delivered in the prehospital phase with immediate resuscitation. If a submersion victim has appropriate airway management and ventilation is rapidly established, anoxic brain injury is avoided, and prom...
