Recent research has provided greater insight into the body's physiological response during cold water drowning incidents. Findings indicate the combined effect of mammalian diving response (MDR) and hypothermia significantly impact survival, though the relationship between the two is still unclear. Additionally, research is limited as laboratory reproduction of real-world drowning events cannot provide all relevant details.

11. Recent research on cold-water immersion incidents
has provided a better understanding of the
physiological processes occurring during
drowning and near-drowning accidents. Current
findings suggest that the cooperative effect of the
MDR and hypothermia plays a critical role in a
patient survival during a cold-water immersion
incident. Therefore, the relationship between the
two processes is still unclear. Because it is possible
to provide an exact reproduction of a particular
drowning incident within the laboratory, research
is hampered by the lack of complete details.
