    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Drowning is a common emergency requiring immediate medical attention.
    • First aid for drowning often occurs in resource-limited settings without trained personnel.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To detail the pathophysiology of drowning.
    • To explain how drowning pathophysiology influences prehospital treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing medical literature on drowning.
    • Analysis of physiological responses to drowning.

    Main Results:

    • Hypothermia, hypoxia, and electrolyte imbalances are key pathophysiological consequences.
    • Understanding these changes is crucial for effective prehospital management.

    Conclusions:

    • Prehospital treatment of drowning should be guided by its underlying pathophysiology.
    • Optimizing resuscitation efforts requires knowledge of the physiological effects of drowning.
