Non-Fatal Drowning Injuries

The hidden toll

When the brain is deprived of oxygen, even briefly, the damage can be permanent. Non-fatal drownings are a leading cause of long-term neurological disability in children.

Common long-term effects

• Anoxic brain injury
• Cognitive and developmental impairment
• Loss of motor function
• Need for lifelong medical care
