Drowning is death caused by the filling of the lungs by a liquid causing the interruption of the body's exchange of oxygen from the air leading to asphyxia.
Near drowning is the survival of a drowning event involving unconsciousness or significant water inhalation and can lead to serious secondary complications, including death, after the event. Cases of near drowning therefore also require attention by medical professionals.
Secondary drowning is death due to chemical or biological changes in the lungs after a near drowning incident.
