Abstract
Amaç: Herhangi bir sıvının solunum yollarından geçerek akciğer alveollerine kadar gitmesi sonucunda kişinin mekanik asfiksiden ölmesi suda boğulma olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Boğulma, sıvı içerisinde batma/dalma sonrasında gelişen solunumun bozulması ile giden süreçler dizisidir. Ölümle, morbiditeyle veya sağ kalımla sonuçlanabilir. Boğulma ciddi, ihmal edilmiş
küresel bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Suda boğulmalar özellikle yaz aylarında sıkça karşılaştığımız ölümcül kazalardandır, dünyada kaza ile ölümlerin en sık sebeplerinden biridir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün verilerine göre dünya çapında önlenebilir yaralanmalar içinde ölüme götüren üçüncü nedendir. Boğulmalardaki morbiditeden esas olarak anoksi, hipotermi ve sonucunda gelişen metabolik asidoz sorumludur.
Sonuç: Suda boğulmada orijin, kaza, cinayet veya intihar olabilir. Suda boğulma çocukların sık karşılaştığı ve ölüm riski yüksek olan bir durumdur. Özellikle yerleşim bölgelerindeki su birikintisi, akarsu, yüzme havuzları ve eğlence plajlarında gerekli olan boğulmayı önleyici güvenlik tedbirleri alınmalıdır. Ayrıca ailelere temel ilk yardım eğitimi verilmesi hayat kurtarıcı bir çaba olacaktır.
