According to the 9th edition of "NOYADES" survey, 1480 drownings accidents occurred in France in 2021, of which 146 (i.e. nearly 10%), were in the Var department. These patient's care involve in first place the Emergency Medical Service (EMS). To date, there is no recommendation from French or European academic societies of emergency medicine formalising pre-hospital care of these patients (except for the specific case of cardiac arrest). This absence of recommendation therefore favours heterogeneity of practices.
