Clinical Information for Unspecified cause of accidental drowning and submersion (W74)
Epilepsy, Reflex - A subtype of epilepsy characterized by seizures that are consistently provoked by a certain specific stimulus. Auditory, visual, and somatosensory stimuli as well as the acts of writing, reading, eating, and decision making are examples of events or activities that may induce seizure activity in affected individuals. (From Neurol Clin 1994 Feb;12(1):57-8)
Immersion - The placing of a body or a part thereof into a liquid.
Immersion Foot - A condition of the feet produced by prolonged exposure of the feet to water. Exposure for 48 hours or more to warm water causes tropical immersion foot or warm-water immersion foot common in Vietnam where troops were exposed to prolonged or repeated wading in paddy fields or streams. Trench foot results from prolonged exposure to cold, without actual freezing. It was common in trench warfare during World War I, when soldiers stood, sometimes for hours, in trenches with a few inches of cold water in them. (Andrews' Diseases of the Skin, 8th ed, p27)
Drowning - Death that occurs as a result of anoxia or heart arrest, associated with immersion in liquid.
Near Drowning - Non-fatal immersion or submersion in water. The subject is resuscitable.
