SHOCK TREATMENT - cold water immersion
WSNZ commissioned the University of Otago to investigate the contrast in initial responses to sudden water immersion in temper-
ate (27°C) versus cold (10°C) water.
The results indicated all participants were susceptible to cold water shock; that swimming capability is reduced when immersed in
cold water,and breath holding upon immersion may reduce the reflex of gasping for oxygen and thus inhaling water.
It was concluded that more emphasis is required on teaching treading water and survival techniques such as what to do if
immersed in cold water if New Zealand is to reduce its drowning rate further.CONFERENCE SPEAKERS
