“…The World Health Organization has declared that drowning is an issue requiring attention throughout the world [ 1 ]. It is a global problem [ [1] , [2] , [3] ], as well as a “silent killer”, which claims hundreds of thousands of lives every year [ [4] , [5] , 6 ]. Although it has also been established that this data is difficult to ascertain, since many deaths are not adequately recorded, and many countries may not even have reliable data.…”

El ahogamiento en el mundo es una de las principales causas de muerte no intencional en edades tempranas, supone un riesgo importante para la vida de las personas. Para ello se debe conocer el estado de la cuestión y saber la accidentabilidad que se produce en los espacios acuáticos, así como conocer las medidas preventivas que se están llevando a cabo. Además se pretende saber si los docentes poseen formación en materia de prevención de riesgos, ya que son una parte importante del proceso educativo de las personas y son un importante eslabón de la cadena educativa. Muchos de los accidentes en los espacios acuáticos se producen bajo la supervisión y vigilancia de los tutores legales y profesores, por lo que esto supone un riesgo profesional para ellos. Esta problemática se debe poner en conocimiento de las autoridades para que se establezcan políticas sociales que minimicen dicha problemática.Abstract. Drowning is one of the main causes of unintentional death at an early age worldwide, posing a significant risk to the lives of people. Hence, we must know the state of the matter and the accident rates occurring in aquatic spaces, as well as the preventive measures that are being carried out. In addition, we intend to understand whether teachers receive training on risk prevention, as they are an important part of individuals’ educational process and they are an important link within the educational chain. Many of the accidents in aquatic spaces occur under the supervision of legal guardians and teachers, hence posing a professional risk to them. This problem should be brought to the attention of authorities so that social policies are established to minimize this problem.

“…Pulmonary edema also occurs after fresh drowning due to alveolar injury that resulted in increased epithelial permeability and secondary inflammation and cardiogenic factors. As such, removal of airway obstruction, via removal of excessive fluid in alveoli and restoration of normal blood-gas exchange are critical for resuscitation from drowning [ 4 ].…”

BackgroundPulmonary edema is an important cause of complications and death in severe drowning. Continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) may reduce pulmonary edema and thus may be a treatment modality for severe sea water drowning resuscitation.Methos20 dogs were anesthetized and tracheally intubated. 10 ml/kg of sea water was infused into trachea in a minute. All animals developed signs of respiratory distress and severe hypoxia (PaO2 < 40 mmHg) within 15 minutes after infusion. They were then mechanical ventilated and randomized to receive either CVVH (n = 10) or no additional treatment (control, n = 10) and followed over 4 hours. Arterial gas, hemodynamic parameters, and the levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines including interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) were determined. Additionally, blood endothelin and the levels of oxidative stress in lung were measured at sacrifice.Results5 animals in the control group (50 %) died within 4 hours after sea water aspiration, while 10 animals received CVVH all survived (p < 0.05). Importantly, CVVH significantly improved blood gas exchange as evidenced by higher PaO2, normal oxygen saturation, and no carbon dioxide retention after 3 hour of CVVH, while also correcting against acidosis. Levels of circulating IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα were elevated in control but not in CVVH group (p < 0.01). CVVH also reduced plasma endothelin and alleviated oxidative stress. Histology examination further revealed reductions in pulmonary alveolar injury, blood congestion, and inflammation by CVVH.Discussion and conclusionsCVVH decreased mortality and pulmonary injury and largely maintained hemodynamic and acid-base balance in animals with severe sea water drowning and thus, may be added as a new measure to aid in resuscitation from severe sea water drowning.Trial registrationAnimal protocol number: FZG0001859 http://www.fzzyy.com.
