    Near-drowning injures multiple organ systems, primarily through low oxygen, acidity, and poor blood flow. Survivors require observation for multisystem failure and individualized treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Emergency Medicine
    • Toxicology
    • Physiology

    Background:

    • Near-drowning is a significant medical emergency affecting multiple organ systems.
    • Key injury mechanisms include hypoxemia, acidosis, and hypoperfusion.
    • Pulmonary and central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction are critical factors in morbidity and mortality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the systemic effects of near-drowning.
    • To highlight common pathways of injury.
    • To emphasize the need for comprehensive patient observation and tailored therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • This abstract summarizes the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of near-drowning.
    • It reviews potential complications across various organ systems.

  • The focus is on clinical observation and management principles.

    • Main Results:

    • Near-drowning commonly leads to hypoxemia, acidosis, and hypoperfusion.
    • Pulmonary insufficiency and CNS dysfunction are primary drivers of poor outcomes.
    • Other potential complications include cardiovascular, renal, coagulation, and electrolyte disturbances.

    Conclusions:

    • Near-drowning poses a risk to all organ systems.
    • Multisystem failure is a significant concern requiring vigilant monitoring.
    • Therapeutic strategies must be individualized based on the patient's specific condition and organ involvement.
