    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.
