Though drowning research is woefully inadequate, we will continue engaging health and research organizations to:
Establish the most important data points that might help eliminate these preventable outcomes.
Create an aggregation and reporting structure.
Deliver annual results/assessments/recommendations.
According to the World Congress on Drowning, drowning is defined as “the process of experiencing respiratory impairment due to submersion or immersion in liquid.” This definition relates to three drowning outcomes: 1) morbidity, 2) no morbidity, and 3) mortality. The following terms should no longer be used to categorize “drowning” patients and events: near, wet, dry, active, passive, saltwater, freshwater or secondary.
