Drowning Dry Drowning vs. Wet Drowning. In the drowning sequence, laryngeal spasm occurs by water entering the upper airways. In most drowning cases, the spasm relaxes and water enters the lungs.

It is now felt that there is no clinical difference between wet and dry drowning and the distinction does not affect patient treatment or outcome.
