Asphyxia Dr. Raid Jastania

Asphyxia Condition of lack of oxygen Usually obstructive Any level: nose, mouth… alveoli.

Asphyxia Classical Features: Congestion of the face Edema of the face Cyanosis of the skin of the face Petechial hemorrhages in the skin of the face and eyes. Petechial hemorrhages of internal organs: lungs, pericardium, thymus..

Asphyxia Sequence of events: Increase efforts to breathe, congestion, cyanosis Deep respiration, petechiae Loss of consciousness, possible convulsions, vomiting.. Reduction in breathing, brain damage

Definitions Suffocation: lack of oxygen in the inspired air Smothering: blockage of external orifices Gagging/Choking: blockage of internal airways Strangulation: blockage of internal airways by external pressure Traumatic asphyxia: restriction of chest movement

Suffocation Accumulation of irrespirable gas Deep tanks, ships, deep wells.. Plastic bag on head Manner: Accidental (common) Suicidal Homoside

Smothering With a pillow or hand pressed over nose and mouth Sings of asphyxia can be minimal: old age, infants Sings of struggle: injuries on the face Manner: Homoside accidental

Gagging Cloth or soft object in the mouth. Person can breathe from nose, but if secretions accumulate in the nose and pharynx, asphyxia can happen Manner: Accidental homicide

Choking Obstruction of the upper airway by object in the pharynx or larynx Food, toys, dentures Manner: Accidental Increased risk in: Sedation Anasthesia Alcohol Drugs Metal disease

Pressure on the Neck Manual strangulation Ligature strangulation Hanging

Pressure on the Neck What happen: Obstruction of jugular veins, congestion, cyanosis Obstruction of carotid artery, cerebral ischemia Stimulation of baroceptors in carotid sinus, vagal effect on heart Closing airway at pharynx by the tongue and larynx ?? Close airway at trachea level

Manual Strangulation Pressure on neck by single for both hands Common mode of homicide Man against woman or child Abrasion, bruises on neck Injuries of neck soft tissue ? Bleeding into posterior neck tissue can be normal at autopsy

Ligature Strangulation Constricting band in tightened around the neck Manner: Homicide Accidental Sings of asphyxia: marked congestion, cyanosis, and petechiae Rope, wire, cloth.. Ligature mark: usually above the laryngeal prominence Look for knots, cross over point

Hanging Self-suspension Need not to be from high point Can be in sitting or kneeling Weight of the body is enough to cause pressure on the neck Signs of asphyxia Suspension point Manner: Suicide in male accidental

Traumatic Asphyxia External pressure preventing respiration Signs of asphyxia Postural asphyxia
