DISPOSITION

- Gastric decompression: Consider placement of an orogastric or nasogastric tube in the stabilized, intubated patient given the increased risk of emesis from resuscitative efforts.
- Evacuation: Evacuate if victim required resuscitation, was unresponsive in the water, or has dyspnea or other respiratory symptoms.
- Continue resuscitation and transport to higher level of care unless there are obvious signs of death.
