Boy Drowns Hours After Swimming!

I have never heard of "secondary drowning" before--have you?



http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/...n4156324.shtml

Wikipedia explains it like this:

"Near drowning is the survival of a drowning event involving unconsciousness or water inhalation and can lead to serious secondary complications, including death, after the event. Cases of near drowning are often given attention by medical professionals. Secondary drowning is death due to chemical or biological changes in the lungs after a near drowning incident."

Re: Boy Drowns Hours After Swimming!

I have read of this possibility, but have not seen an actual case.

Our Fire/Rescue Dept. had a drowning incident yesterday.

I was working nearby, but the body was found nearly a mile from the low water crossing where they were swimming.

Do the lungs get too heavy to work right?

Scary possibility. I saw this earlier today and couldn't get over it for awhile.

My EMT Reference says this...

is thought to be due to loss of surfactant from chemical, anoxic, or osmotic damage to the pneumatocytes that line the alveoli. It may be fatal in both children and adults' and is one of the causes of "delayed death subsequent to near-drowning." This phenomenon has been called "secondary drowning" and is characterised by a latent period of several hours, or even longer. The syndrome may be defined as the occurrence of respiratory deterioration after successful resuscitation owing to primary alveolar membrane dysfunction.

Re: Boy Drowns Hours After Swimming!

How much water actually has to get into the lungs? This really frightens me... I struggle as a mom with worry enough as it is. Worse than most I think. So now I've added yet one more thing to my worry roster.

God give me peace and wisdom over my children.

I don't have a source for this but I would think it would be wise to keep a child active for a few hours following an incident where he took any water into the lungs.

Re: Boy Drowns Hours After Swimming!

I really don't seem to read by the article that anyone might have noticed. Swallowing water and inhaling it into the lungs are different. He may however had a medical condition that caused him to aspirate. You cannot breathe and swallow at the same time.

Re: Boy Drowns Hours After Swimming!

This is so scary!!! My daughter went to the pool yesterday and came home with a raspy cough...I had just read this article. Imagine my fear!!! I have never heard this happening before to anyone! They say it accounts for 5% of all drownings each year. That's a statistic I just couldn't believe!
