Abstract

Submersion injuries are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children and young adults. The Emergency Department physician should be familiar with the epidemiology, pathophysiology, modes of therapy, and prognostic indicators in order to provide optimum resuscitation to the near-drowning victim, correct referral, and counseling to their families.
