"The mixed-race Hawaiian athlete George Freeth brought surfing to Venice, California, in 1907. Over the next twelve years, Freeth taught Southern Californians to surf and swim while creating a modern lifeguard service that transformed the beach into a destination for fun, leisure, and excitement. Patrick Moser places Freeth's inspiring life story against the rise of the Southern California beach culture he helped shape and define. Freeth made headlines with his rescue of seven fishermen, an act of heroism that highlighted his innovative lifeguarding techniques. But he also founded California's first surf club and coached both male and female athletes, including Olympic swimming champion and "father of modern surfing" Duke Kahanamoku. Often in financial straits, Freeth persevered as a teacher and lifeguarding pioneer--building a legacy that endured long after his death during the 1919 influenza pandemic. A compelling merger of biography and sports history, Surf and Rescue brings to light the forgotten figure whose novel way of seeing the beach sparked the imaginations of people around the world"--

Questo testo riporta lo stato dell'arte sull'annegamento e sulle problematiche ad esso correlate. La prima parte è dedicata all'anatomia e alla fisiologia dell'apparato cardio-respiratorio, alla regolazione dell'equilibrio acido-base, alla definizione del problema (classificazione e incidenza), alle alterazioni organiche e alle principali complicanze associate a tale evento; particolare riguardo è stato posto nella trattazione del politrauma legato all'incidente da annegamento, del quale ben poche informazioni sono attualmente disponibili in letteratura. Nella seconda parte, invece, si è dato particolare risalto al soccorso sanitario su vittima da annegamento, spaziando da nozioni elementari, quali il sostegno delle funzioni vitali e la chiamata dei soccorsi, agli aspetti tecnici inerenti un corretto recupero della vittima in acqua, sino alla trattazione dettagliata delle manovre rianimatorie e dei codici di criticità. È stata evidenziata nel volume l'importanza di un link stretto tra territorio e ospedale e la necessità di una collaborazione tra le varie figure sanitarie e non, coinvolte nel problema. Infine si è dato ampio spazio alla prevenzione e alle nuove opzioni disponibili sul mercato, riguardanti i vari materiali di soccorso. Il volume è rivolto principalmente al personale medico e infermieristico di area critica, nonché alla formazione degli operatori di settore; costituisce infine un valido riferimento per l'addestramento delle forze dell'ordine coinvolte nel problema.
