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.
As always, if you have a story to tell—funny, wild, heartbreaking, or unforgettable—you can share it through our website. We’d love to feature it on a future episode.
