2021, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :The SLF has collected data on every reported avalanche accident that has occurred in Switzerland since 1936. The registry includes the following information: date and location of avalanche accident, sex and age of victim, type of burial (complete or partial, where complete burial is defined as the burial of at least the head and chest after the avalanche comes to a standstill), burial duration and burial depth, presence of an air pocket (defined as any space surrounding the mouth and nose), airway patency (obstructed airway being defined as both the mouth and the nose obstructed with compact snow or debris), and survival status (alive or dead).3,10–13 The survival status was attributed at hospital discharge for victims who were transported to a medical facility, or on site for victims not transported.
