Asphyxia
In many cases, drowning results from suffocation (called asphyxia). Take note: there are other types of drowning, but it is outside the scope of the course to cover them.
Liquid, most often water, accidentally enters the body and prevents it from taking in the oxygen it needs and exhaling carbon dioxide.
A person can drown when their mouth and or nose are immersed either partially or fully in a liquid (such as water) and he or she starts to take that liquid into the body. A person can drown in as little as a few inches of water.
