Drowning can be categorized into several types, including:

  1. Dry Drowning: Occurs when water enters the airway, causing airway spasms and prevents breathing, often happening shortly after leaving the water.
  2. Wet Drowning: Involves inhalation of water into the lungs, leading to respiratory failure.
  3. Near Drowning: Refers to survival after submersion, where the individual experiences respiratory impairment but is resuscitated.
  4. Secondary Drowning: Occurs when water that has been inhaled leads to delayed complications, typically developing hours after the incident.

Each type varies in severity and treatment needs.
