People with a near-drowning experience who have normal oxygen levels and no respiratory symptoms should be observed in a hospital environment for a period of time to ensure there are no delayed complications. [1]
“If the person has poor oxygen saturation or in acute respiratory distress, care should be started with supplementary oxygen to maintain a target saturation of 94-98%. [2] Advanced airway management may be needed if condition continues to deteriorate. [2] […] Core body temperature should be measured, and if hypothermic (core temperature <35°C), the person with hyperthermia must be treated. [1]
Thanks for sharing your proposed article improvements.

Thanks for posting - suggest changing "for a few hours" as this is pretty vague. Maybe "People with a near-drowning experience who have normal oxygen levels and no respiratory symptoms should be observed in a hospital environment for a period of time to ensure there are no delayed complications." Agree that "they should be released with education" is somewhat unclear. Is the second part necessary or adding anything? HeatherMurray Queen's ( talk) 18:39, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
