5 WHO:Key facts on drowning 2014

6 Infants and young children Lack of adequate and close supervision Lack of barriers low awareness of water dangers Poor swimming skill

7 Drowning can occur during a brief lapse of supervision, not complete lack of attention. After drowning 2 mins Lose conciousness 4-6 mins Irreversible brain damage 10 mins die Survivors are discovered in 2 mins. Wintermute GJ,Amer J Dis Child 1990

8 496 of drowning deaths, age< 14 yrs 10% completely unsupervised 79% of unsupervised were 5-14 yrs A national study of childhood drowning and related attitudes and behaviors.us

9 2004 A national study of childhood drowning and related attitudes and behaviors.us

10 Never leave a young child unsupervised, even for a moment. Never allow children to swim without adult supervision. Maintain continuous visual and auditory contact Not engaged in distracting behaviors Keep the children within arm s reach

11 4-sided fencing pool Decrease pool immersion injuries in young children more than 50% (2000,Cochrane data base review) Queensland,Australia : The barrier-isolation legislation reduces drowning rates in young children by more than 30%.(Pearn et al, 2008)

12 80% of drowning children < 5 yrs happened within 20 m around the resident.(bangladish National Survey) Only 10 cm of water can kill them.

21

22 Support swimming lessons for 4yrs and older. No recommendation the aged for learning watersurvival skills. Need more study for types of swim instruction and water-survival skillls. 2010,Weiss J, Pediatrics

23 Adolescents High risk behavior Consuming alcohol while engaging with water 2014: WHO: Global report on drowning

24 Impair judgment Impair physiologic effect Swimming skill Orientation (Smith GS, JAMA 2001.)

25 30-70% of swimming & boating victims had alcohol in blood. ( Driscoll TR,2004 Inj Prev.) Increase risk 16-fold when the BAC >100 mg/dl. (Smith GS,2001 JAMA)

26 PFDs decrease drowning morbidity &mortality.(2003,browne ML. Public Health Rep.) 9 % of 510 victims were wearing a PFDs. (2008, US Coast Guard)

28 Air-filled swimming aids are TOYS.

30 Bystander resuscitation can improve survival rate (> 70%)and neurological outcome. Start with C-A-B rather than A-B-CHandsonly CPR is not appropriate. Heimlich maneuver is not recommend. Marc D. Berg et al. Circulation. 2010
