AbstractFrom 1971 to 1977 a total of 32 nearly-drowned children were admitted to the University Pediatric Hospital, Berne, and the Children's Hospital, Lucerne. 5 died within 15 h to 10 days. Neurological damage was seen in 5 cases. 20 children were under 5 years of age and only 8 over 7 years. All cases with fatal consequences or severe cerebral sequel had cardiac arrest on admission. A maximal possible submersion time for survival without consequences has not been found. The pathophysiology of fresh water drowning and current treatment are summarized. Situations leading to near drowning are specified and some aspects of prognosis discussed.
