متن کاملSequential intellectual recovery after near-drowning.
Sequential neurological and intellectual recovery after childhood near-drowning is discussed. Decisions concerning the persistence and intensity of resuscitation require a knowledge of the natural history of intellectual improvement after rescue from near-drowning. A severe case of fresh-water immersion, leading to recovery, is described. Evidence is presented to suggest that the time interval ...

We highly appreciate the effort and thoroughness of the authors in conducting this well documented case report and it supports the hypothesis that controlled hypothermia may o...
