N2  - A 6 year old girl suffered rectal prolapse after    being sucked onto a swimming pool drain from which the cover had been removed.    After six days in hospital she made a full recovery. The severe form of this    injury may result in evisceration of small bowel, short bowel syndrome, and the    need for long term parenteral nutrition. A survey of travel agents revealed a    low awareness of this potentially devastating hazard, and a failure on the part    of some companies to take adequate responsibility for customer safety.    Preventive measures are reviewed.
