Avalanche Survival Curve. Researchers using data gathered by the Swiss Avalanche Research Center at Davos for accidents between 1981 and 1991 have plotted the survival probability of a victim buried under snow against time. This figures show that of 123 skiers dug out of an avalanche during the first 15 minutes of burial only 8 were dead with 6 having sustained injuries as a result of the avalanche itself. 1, record 1, English, - avalanche%20survival%20curve

L'avalanche est certainement l'accident type où la rapidité d'intervention peut conditionner les chances de survie. Plus personne n'ignore la courbe de survie de Brugger maintes fois reprise pour sensibiliser sur la nécessité d'être rapide et efficace. 2, record 1, French, - courbe%20de%20survie
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le docteur Brugger a [...] étudié l'évolution des chances de survie des personnes totalement ensevelies, en fonction de leur durée d'ensevelissement, à partir de 638 cas (les 735 enregistrées pendant la période analysée, auxquelles il a enlevé celles qui ont été ensevelies dans une maison ou une voiture, à cause de conditions d'ensevelissement particulières dans ces cas). La courbe obtenue, ci-contre, montre : des chances de survie supérieure à 90 % si l'ensevelissement dure moins de 18 mn, une diminution importante des chances de survie (de 91 % à 34 %) entre 18 mn et 35 mn, une relative stabilisation jusqu'à 120 mn (entre 34 et 20 % environ), une nouvelle et très rapide diminution après 130 mn d'ensevelissement à 7 %, suivie d'une deuxième stabilisation à cette valeur. Cette courbe n'est pas rigoureusement une courbe d'évolution des chances de survivre à une avalanche. 3, record 1, French, - courbe%20de%20survie

Waiting phase. Between 45 minutes and rescue the victim will probably have found an air pocket and is in a phase of relative security which will allow them to survive for a considerable period. Death is either from slow asphyxia or hypothermia. With an adequate air supply hypothermia is slowed down. 1, record 3, English, - waiting%20phase

Phase de latence, de 45 minutes jusqu'au moment du dégagement. Les premiers décès par hypothermie commencent à se produire après environ 90 minutes. Il ne peut y avoir survie que si la victime dispose d'une poche d'air. Dans ce cas, il peut y avoir une phase de relative sécurité. Une vingtaine de victimes ont pu être dégagées vivantes (l'une d'entre elles après 16 heures d'ensevelissement), au cours de cette phase. 1, record 3, French, - phase%20de%20latence

Survival phase. In the first 15 minutes 93% of avalanche victims are still alive, indeed most of the deaths occur during the fall either by hitting rocks or trees or being carried over cliffs or by being crushed or suffocated by the weight of snow. Wet snow avalanches, characteristic of spring, are most likely to suffocate or crush skiers during this phase but it is less common for skiers to be caught these. 1, record 4, English, - survival%20phase

Phase de survie, jusqu'à 15 minutes après l'ensevelissement. Les chances de survie s'élèvent à 93 % (valeur nettement supérieure à celle de 65 % précédemment admise).

Asphyxiation phase. In this half hour period, two thirds of victims will die from asphyxiation. Apart from wet snow avalanches the snow encasing victims contains a significant amount of oxygen and is permeable. If a victim has protected or can clear airways and can breath (that is the weight of snow is not compressing the lungs or thorax) they can usually breath. During this period the surrounding air will either be exhausted or the victims respiration will condense and freeze slowly rendering the surrounding snow impermeable. 1, record 5, English, - asphyxiation%20phase
