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.
