Dry Drowning Symptoms in Toddlers and Infants. Dry drowning in toddlers or infants is caused by a delayed effect of small amount of water into the lungs. Respiratory arrest is possible in this situation, which is more severe. It disturbs the supply of oxygen in the blood that leads to brain death.
Drowning occurs when water comes into contact with the larynx (voice box). After an initial gasp, there is an initial voluntary breath holding. This is followed by spasm of the larynx and the development of hypoxemia (hypo=low + ox=oxygen + emia=blood), or decreased levels of oxygen in the bloodstream. Lack of oxygen causes aerobic metabolism to stop, and the body becomes acidotic.
