Drowning belongs to important topics of intensive care in paediatrics. The authors describe a case of a 2-year-old boy who near-drowned

in biologically contaminated water. Child’s prognosis was very serious, he developed extreme acidosis, hypothermia <30°C and a severe

pulmonary injury caused by aspiration. Immediate lay resuscitation followed by complex treatment led to a complete recovery of the

child. The case is provided with necessary information about this serious topic with emphasis on prevention.

Keywords: drowning, hypoxemia, children’s age, pulmonary injury, prevention
