Emerg Med (Fremantle).

Abstract
Water immersion is a frequent cause of accidental death and hospital admission. This article outlines the pathogenesis and principles of treatment. Drowning is defined as death by asphyxia due to submersion in a liquid medium. Near-drowning is defined as immediate survival after asphyxia due to submersion.
