Explanation:
Correct Answer:
– Emphysema aquosum occurs during pulmonary aspiration of water.
– It is characterized by the presence of water in the lungs leading to air trapping.
– This condition is primarily seen in wet drowning scenarios.
Incorrect Options:
A. Dry drowning – involves asphyxia due to airway spasm, no water aspiration.
C. Immersion syndrome – physiological response to submersion, may not involve water in lungs.
D. Secondary drowning – occurs post-drowning from complications, not related to acute aspiration.
Emphysema aquosum = water aspiration indicates severity in drowning cases.
