Dry drowning is one of the types of drowning, mainly in contrast to wet drowning. It is mainly seen in the early stages of drowning, where the amount of water entering the lungs is relatively small. Bronchial spasms may occur, manifested by irritating choking, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and even chest pain. There is a progressive worsening of dyspnea, which may be accompanied by weakness, depression, nausea, vomiting, panic, and even drowsiness and coma. In severe cases, it may lead to respiratory failure, respiratory arrest, or even cardiac arrest. In this case, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be performed as soon as possible, and the patient should be sent to the emergency department for treatment.
