Drowning is death caused by the filling of the lungs by a fluid, usually water, rendering breathing impossible and leading to death due to asphyxia. Near drowning is initial survival of a drowning accident, and can lead to serious secondary complications including death later on; cases of near drowning therefore also require attention by medical professionals. Secondary drowning is death due to chemical and biological changes in the lungs after a near drowning incident or exposure to chemicals. In many countries, drownin ...

Drowning - Common situations leading to drowning. Most drownings occur in water, drownings in other fluids are comparatively rare and often industrial accidents. Surveys suggest that 90% of drownings occur in freshwater (rivers and lakes) rather than in the ocean. Well known mechanisms by which a person drowns can be categorized as follows: Physically hindered in the attempt to extricate self (e.g. lack of consciousness, injury, being trapped, or hampered by clothing) Physiological in ...

Tools, such as search dogs, helicopters, and the "Jaws of Life" and other hydraulic cutting and spreading tools used to extricate individuals from wrecked vehicles are frequently needed. Rescue operations are sometimes supported by special vehicles, an example being a f ...

In the United States the leading cave rescue training curriculum is developed and deployed by the National Cave Rescue Commission (NCRC), which operates as ...

The effort and difficulty of a rescue varies widely and depends on many factors such as the nature of the problem, the underwater conditions and the type and depth of the dive site. A simple rescue could be to tow to safety a diver on the surface who is exhausted or suffering from leg cramps. A complex and high-risk rescue would be to locate, free and bring to the surface a lost diver who is trapped underwater in an enclosed space such as a ship ...

Suicide by drowning is deliberately entering water and staying there long enough for it to fill the breathing channels. This might be done by walking into water with heavy objects attached to the body to prevent buoyancy or escape. One might drive into water or jump off a ship or boat. This method risks permanent brain damage if rescue arrives after the brain has been deprived of oxygen for several minutes. If a car is driven into water, it will usually stay afloat for quite some time before sinking. After submerging, the pressure out ...

Rescuers should not take unacceptable risks; any rescuers who become casualties themselves may jeopardise the rescue of the original casualty particularly as many of the emergency resources available at dive site, such as rescue manpower, first aid oxygen, underwater time and gas are generally in short supply. Conscious casualties may panic and put the rescuer's safety at risk particularly when the rescuer approaches a casualty in or under the water. It may be possible to avoid contacting a panicked casualty by throwing a rope or buoy ...

In recreational diving, the urgency of the rescue and the remoteness of dive sites mean that professional rescuers rarely take part in diver rescues. Other divers at the scene become rescuers. As the immediate in-water rescuer is often the diver's own buddy, diver training agencies often teach rescue techniques in intermediate-level diver training courses; examples are the PADI Rescue Diver and the BSAC Sport Diver courses. When the rescue involves a group of people, co-ordination is needed to make it quick and effective. This ...

Some practitioners of open rescue claim to not be guilty of any crime, claiming to have acted in defense of others, especially if the rescued animals have not been kept in accordance with laws regulating animal husbandry. Similarly, others cite the disregard of the owner's violations of such laws as sufficient justification, and point out the hypocrisy of the strict enforcement of the law against open rescue activists. Majja Carlsson of Räddningstjänsten, a Swedish open rescue organisation, was one of four activists that resc ...

Open rescue "puts a face on animal liberation" [4]. By being open, proponents claim that they get a more positive response from the media and the general population, and thet by not wearing masks they reduce the distance between themselves and the public, they become a normal everyday person whom the public can identify with and not an abstract masked "terrorist". Being open removes or tones down the militant edge of direct actions. Open rescue proponents also claim that their method of operation in conducive to their compassion for t ...
