Episode overview
About this episode
Drownings don’t always look like the movies—and not all of them end at the scene. In this episode, we dive into the complexities of fatal and non-fatal drownings, including what actually happens physiologically, how presentations can vary, and why even a seemingly minor water rescue deserves a thorough assessment. We talk about key red flags, delayed complications, and the importance of early intervention and post-rescue care. Whether it’s a medical lake call or a toddler pulled from a pool, this episode covers what EMS providers need to know to recognize, treat, and document drowning calls with confidence.
