Types of Home Loans. When it comes to paying for your home, you have a wide range of financing options. Your home mortgage will likely come through a financial institution such as bank, or it may come through the seller. We can direct you to a mortgage expert who can help you sort through the options.
Dry Drowning vs. Wet Drowning. In the drowning sequence, laryngeal spasm occurs by water entering the upper airways. In most drowning cases, the spasm relaxes and water enters the lungs. Historically, this was known as a wet drowning. In 10% to 20% of drowning cases, the laryngeal spasm does not relax and no water enters. This was known as dry drowning. It is now felt that there is no clinical difference between wet and dry drowning and the distinction does not affect patient treatment or outcome.
Secondary Drowning: What It Is. Secondary drowning, also known as delayed drowning, is extremely rare but can be fatal if you overlook the symptoms. Anytime a liquid (like water, after a near-drowning experience) gets into the lungs, it can cause irritation. The body sometimes then sends fluids from other areas to the lungs in hopes of helping out. But instead of helping, the fluids leave little to no room for breathing, which can cause cardiac arrest or death. Secondary drowning can happen minutes or up to three days after the water first got into the lungs.
