PLEASE CATEGORIZE YOUR TEMATIC PUBLICATION USING THE DROWNING TIMELINE
Pre-event: The pre-event is the phase before the drowning process starts and comprises two actions (preparation and prevention) that were triggered either by a community at risk (preparation) or a person or group at risk (prevention). Preparation includes: Epidemiology, Advocacy, Leisure, Policy, Research, Swimming, Education and others.
Prevention: any intervention
Event: The event phase encompasses any action taken in the water triggered by a person in stress or distress, while the drowning process is taking place. Possible actions are: self-rescue, rescue, or no rescue. If the rescue is being performed by a first responder, being it a layperson or a professional, some mitigation interventions might take place while the victim is still in the water, such as first in-water efforts to provide life-support.
Post-event: The post-event phase is only composed of mitigation actions – those that will make the impact of the drowning less severe, harmful, or painful. It starts after extrication from the water has ended and extends until all the health care ceases, such as ambulance attendance, hospital and post-hospital care.
