Some remarkable cases of full neurological recovery after cardiac arrest following immersion incidents have been intermittently reported in the journals over the years. These have largely been in children or teenagers who have fallen into extremely cold water. We report here two older adults who recovered completely after a period of cardiac arrest in cold water. Certainly, death should not be pronounced in cold water drowning, without a thermometer reading and ECG.
多年来，期刊上断断续续地报道了一些溺水事件后心脏骤停但神经功能完全恢复的显著案例。这些案例大多发生在坠入极冷水体的儿童或青少年身上。我们在此报告两名年长者，他们在冷水中心脏骤停一段时间后完全康复。当然，在没有体温计读数和心电图的情况下，不应宣布冷水溺水者死亡。
