Download or read book Near Drowning Pathophysiology and Treatment written by Mark E. Bradley and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drowning, by definition, is death from acute asphyxia while submerged, whether or not the liquid has entered the lungs. The term near-drowning has been applied by Modell to those individuals who survive submersion. Near-drowning victims may or may not aspirate fluid into their lungs. These patients may survive a near-drowning episode, but may die some hours or days later. Noble and Sharpe have described a sequence of events that occurs in drowning victims. Initially the subject struggles violently and apnea or breath-holding occurs. The individual swallows large quantities of fluid. This, in turn, leads to vomiting, which is followed by gasping and the aspiration of fluid. The incidence reported for drowning and near-drowning without aspiration varies between 10 and 20 percent. It is thought that in these subjects there is severe reflex glottic spasm leading to asphyxia. Nonetheless, most near-drowning patients do aspirate water, and along with it, diatoms, sand, and other impurities such as chlorine, which irritate the lung.

Download or read book Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac arrest can strike a seemingly healthy individual of any age, race, ethnicity, or gender at any time in any location, often without warning. Cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death in the United States, following cancer and heart disease. Four out of five cardiac arrests occur in the home, and more than 90 percent of individuals with cardiac arrest die before reaching the hospital. First and foremost, cardiac arrest treatment is a community issue - local resources and personnel must provide appropriate, high-quality care to save the life of a community member. Time between onset of arrest and provision of care is fundamental, and shortening this time is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of death and disability from cardiac arrest. Specific actions can be implemented now to decrease this time, and recent advances in science could lead to new discoveries in the causes of, and treatments for, cardiac arrest. However, specific barriers must first be addressed. Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival examines the complete system of response to cardiac arrest in the United States and identifies opportunities within existing and new treatments, strategies, and research that promise to improve the survival and recovery of patients. The recommendations of Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival provide high-priority actions to advance the field as a whole. This report will help citizens, government agencies, and private industry to improve health outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest across the United States.
