AB Drowning  is  the  second  most  common  cause  of  nonintentional  death  in  children  and  adolescents,  with  a  bimodal  distribution  of  peak  incidence  between  the  ages  of  1  and  4  years  and  11  and  14  years.Poor  prognostic  indicators  include  prolonged  submersion  asystole  upon  emergency  department  (ED)  arrival  and  delay  in  effective  cardiopulmonary  resuscitation.Patients  who  have  been  asymptomatic  and  remain  so,  with  a  normal  CXR  and  oxygenation,  may  be  discharged  after  a  6-hour  observation  period.
