Rural residents often drown

Rural residents often drown.
People in country areas are nearly three times more undoubtedly to drown than those who live in cities, a restored Canadian study finds. This may be because pastoral residents are more likely to be around open water and less likely to have taken swimming lessons, according to the researchers at St Michael's Hospital in Toronto breast. Their findings - from an critique of drowning incidents in the dependency of Ontario between 2004 and 2008 - appeared recently in the International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education.

A support over by the St Michael's researchers found that most drowning incidents develop in collective places, such as open water, recreation centers or parks. Even so, four out of five drownings happen without a witness, according to the study, which was published recently in the Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine. The researchers also found that bystanders respond CPR in half of all drowning events, but only for one-third of all other cardiac arrests.
