V92.1: Water-transport-related drowning and submersion without accident to watercraft : passenger ship

Water-transport-related drowning and submersion without accident to watercraft, passenger ship, is a condition that occurs when a person accidentally inhales water while involved in any activity on a passenger vessel, leading to difficulties in breathing. This does not involve any accident to the actual watercraft itself. This condition tends to occur quite swiftly and is most commonly characterized by coughing, panic, trying to swim in a non-purposeful fashion, and attempts to get out of the water. Over time, the affected individual can experience fatigue, followed by unconsciousness due to lack of oxygen, which can result in life-threatening complications or death if immediate rescue and appropriate medical interventions are not provided. Drowning affects the respiratory system and, in serious cases, it can also impact the cardiovascular system, potentially causing cardiac arrest.
