Study Notes

Nonfatal Drowning Management

The therapeutic goal is to restore oxygenation and perfusion, while preventing further complications.

Factors Influencing Survival

The factor with the greatest influence on survival is the duration of submersion, as it directly affects the degree of hypoxic brain injury.

Shock Management

The most common type of shock in nonfatal drowning management is hypovolemic shock, which occurs due to fluid shifts and loss of blood volume.

Complications after Resuscitation

Possible complications after resuscitation in nonfatal drowning include acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pneumonia, electrolyte imbalances, and cardiac arrhythmias.

Prevention Measures

The best prevention measure for drowning accidents is proper supervision, particularly of children and inexperienced swimmers, accompanied by the implementation of safety measures such as fencing and lifeguarding.
