Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate drowning death patients on clinical care and prevention. Drowning accidents that occurred in the Republic of Korea were identified by using the Emergency Activity Daily Report Data from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). The age of drowning accidents was 20-29 years (25.4%). Drowning cases for the months of August was 17.6%. The main circumstance involved in the drowning cases was swimming (45.0%). Half of swimming incidents related the drowning accidents of people attempting to save a life of a family member or friend from the water. The most common location was at a lake or reservoir (40.2%). Drowning is a main cause of accidents in the Republic of Korea. Preventive strategies that may be beneficial for persons contain life jackets or life rings supply, upgrading swimming ability, placing lifeguards based on public education activities.

본 연구의 목적은 수중익사 사망 환자의 임상 치료 및 예방을 알아보고자 하였다. 수중 익사 사고는 소방 방재청에서 사용한 구급 활동 일일 보고서 데이터를 사용하여 확인 하였다. 소방 방재청 통계에서 익사 사고의 특성을 확인했다. 익사 사고의 나이, 날짜, 원인, 위치, 시간 및 사례 조사 하였다. 또한, 검색은 자연적인 원인과 사례를 찾고 NEMA 웹 사이트의 수집했다. 익사 사고의 나이는 20~29년 (25.4 %)이었다. 8월 익사의 경우는 17.6 %였다. 7, 8월 즉 여름에 익사 사고의 약 30%가 발생했다. 물에 빠진 경우에 수영과 관련된 사고가 45.0 %이였다. 수영과 우발적 사고의 절반은 물에서 가족이나 친구를 구출하려고 시도하는 사람의 익사 사고를 포함되었다. 가장 일반적인 위치는 호수나 저수지에서 40.2%이었다. 호수와 해변에 있는 사람들에 대한 인명 구조, 장비 또는 구명조끼가 없었다. 익사 사고는 14시-18시 사이에 가장 많이 발생했다. 익사는 한국의 상해와 관련된 사고의 주요 원인이다. 대한민국에서 익사의 특성을 이해하는 것은 예방 전략을 개발하는 것이 필요하다. 예방 전략으로 구명조끼 및 구명기 설치 의무화, 안전교육 활성화, 수영 능력 향상, 인명구조인력 배치 증가 등이 있다.
