Paper Abstract:
Statistics, causes, effects of near-drowning, prevention. Role of nurses & other rescuers.
Paper Introduction:
Drowning ranks second only to motor vehicle accidents as the most common cause of accidental deaths among children. Almost 5 children per 100,000 drown each year in the United States alone. Infants and toddlers are most at risk: as many as 45 percent of all cases involve children not yet one year old (Jumbelic and Chambliss 1952). This research focuses on reasons behind drownings, how they can be prevented and medical problems resulting from near drownings. For the purposes of this research, near drownings are classified as a life threatening incident in which children are found face down or under the surface of water. Cases in which children are found floating and breathing, or struggling, are not included.
During 1989, swimming pools accounted for between 55 and 80 percent of all childhood drowning deaths in the United States.
