Questo testo riporta lo stato dell'arte sull'annegamento e sulle problematiche ad esso correlate. La prima parte è dedicata all'anatomia e alla fisiologia dell'apparato cardio-respiratorio, alla regolazione dell'equilibrio acido-base, alla definizione del problema (classificazione e incidenza), alle alterazioni organiche e alle principali complicanze associate a tale evento; particolare riguardo è stato posto nella trattazione del politrauma legato all'incidente da annegamento, del quale ben poche informazioni sono attualmente disponibili in letteratura. Nella seconda parte, invece, si è dato particolare risalto al soccorso sanitario su vittima da annegamento, spaziando da nozioni elementari, quali il sostegno delle funzioni vitali e la chiamata dei soccorsi, agli aspetti tecnici inerenti un corretto recupero della vittima in acqua, sino alla trattazione dettagliata delle manovre rianimatorie e dei codici di criticità. È stata evidenziata nel volume l'importanza di un link stretto tra territorio e ospedale e la necessità di una collaborazione tra le varie figure sanitarie e non, coinvolte nel problema. Infine si è dato ampio spazio alla prevenzione e alle nuove opzioni disponibili sul mercato, riguardanti i vari materiali di soccorso. Il volume è rivolto principalmente al personale medico e infermieristico di area critica, nonché alla formazione degli operatori di settore; costituisce infine un valido riferimento per l'addestramento delle forze dell'ordine coinvolte nel problema.
