Spinal Injuries in Aquatic Sports
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 June 2012
Extract
Spinal injuries associated with aquatic sports account for about 30 admissions per year to spinal injury units in Australia. These injuries are considered not only for their significance to the victim, to his family and to the community, but to ensure that voluntary organizations are teaching first-aid measures which help to reduce morbidity and mortality—for on those first-aid measures depend the quality of the victim's life.
