When the face of a human is submerged in cold water, the Mammalian Diving Reflex is activated. The first thing in drowning, of course, is water filling the lungs. My his causes apnea (failure to breathe). The resulting anoxia (lack of oxygen) triggers constriction of all blood systems except those serving heart, brain, and spinal cord. It occurs more often in children because they have more body surface to mass than adults, so they lose heat very quickly. One little girl was successfully resuscitated after being submerged for 66 minutes. It's extremely important to rescue the child and immediately begin CPR. Another child was revived to good health after 101 minutes of CPR, so don't stop. The saying among doctors is, "You're not dead until you're warm and dead."
