AB Drowning  is  submersion  in  a  liquid  resulting  in  respiratory  distress  or  failure.  Prognosis  after  submersion  injuries  depends  on  the  degree  of  pulmonary  and  central  nervous  system  injury  and,  therefore,  is  highly  dependent  on  early  rescue  and  resuscitation.  Prevention  is  the  most  important  means  to  reduce  associated  morbidity  and  mortality.
