Characteristics and outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest due to drowning – a nationwide registry-based study
Drowning was a rare cause of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in this study, often occurring during summer months. Outcome in D-OHCA was generally comparable to ND-OHCA and only better in children aged up to 10 years. Lower body temperatures were associated with unfavourable outcomes in most D-OHCA cases.
