Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drowning By Accident explains why it is so easy to drown, where accidents happen, and how to save lives by early rescue and resuscitation. More than 600 people die by drowning in Britain every year. Swimming is promoted as a particularly safe form of exercise, so that swimmers forget or ignore the dangers of frigid lakes, swollen rivers, incoming tides or outgoing rip currents. Drowning accidents take place because we don't recognise water as a hostile environment. We overestimate the strength and endurance of our bodies and underestimate the power and deceptiveness of water. Year after year, victims lose their lives in typical drowning accidents, often sinking so quickly and silently that nearby family, friends and onlookers fail to notice the tragedy taking place close beside them. Babies drown in baths. Toddlers drown in garden ponds. School children fall off rafts. Teenagers strike too far from the shore. Pensioners wade into rivers to save their dogs. Victims often die within minutes of sinking beneath the surface. A quarter of those who reach hospital alive will also die, while others survive with severe permanent brain damage. This means that it is vitally important for parents, grandparents, teachers, lifeguards and lawmakers to recognise the risks and prevent drowning accidents before they take place.

Download or read book Drowning and pulmonary foam written by Guido Reijnen and published by Gompel&Svacina. This book was released on 2018 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides tools for forensic professionals in the autopsy of water corpses. These tools focus on the medico-legal aspects of drowning, such as proving drowning and determining the post-mortem interval. Within the forensic medical profession, false facts circulate about phenomena that would prove drowning. This can lead to incorrect conclusions being drawn after an autopsy, which in turn can lead to missing a crime. This book presents an up-to-date overview of the scientific status of drowning and also shows what we do not know (yet). This overview enables the forensic professional to draw more solid conclusions after a water corpse study.
