Abstract

In this issue of Pediatrics is a study1 that represents a milestone in the growth and development of Emergency Medical Services for Children systems. Linda Quan and co-workers provide us with a study of victims of submersion who were less than 20 years of age and who received care during a 10-years interval in an Emergency Medical Services unit and required hospitalization or died. Because the majority of these submersions occurred in the urban setting of King Country with the rapid response of Emergency Medical Services units and reliable recording of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) data, the study results are impressively complete.
