Drowning is important: 1,000 people drown every day, 2 every 3 minutes, 41 per hour. It is the world’s 3rd leading cause of accidental death: 3.6 million people over 10 years.
Disease of youth
Male: female ratio 2:1
In 40%, alcohol is on board
Initial Responses/Sudden Death (first 3-5 min)
Short-Term Responses (5-30 min)
Long-Term Responses (30 min +)
Post-immersion (during rescue)
Lethal aspiration of salt water 22ml/kg (approx 1.5 litre), fresh water 44ml/kg
Be aware that drowning can take up to 4 hours – observe and watch for 6!
Better outcomes:
Worse prognosis
It is important to remember that casualties who have entered water sometimes have access to a “bubble” of air – particularly if they had entered the water following a boating incident or were in a car at the point they entered the water. In these circumstances it is impossible to judge the point at which submersion has occurred.
This is a regular point of discussion and concern. Water temperature is a key determinant: icy versus not. In the UK sea water is very unlikely to be icy or cold enough – however, small areas of water may well be, particularly in the winter months.
