Subtitle: Asphyxia
Asphyxia is a medical condition that occurs when the body is deprived of oxygen. It can occur due to a variety of reasons, including accidental or intentional suffocation, near-drowning, and exposure to toxic substances. There are four main types of asphyxia, each of which has its own unique characteristics.
Hypoxic Asphyxia occurs when the body is deprived of oxygen due to a lack of available oxygen in the environment. This type of asphyxia is often caused by high altitudes, prolonged underwater submersion, or prolonged exposure to hazardous gases.
Anoxic Asphyxia occurs when oxygen is present but cannot be used by the body. This type of asphyxia is often caused by cardiac arrest, severe shock, or strangulation.
Hypercapnic Asphyxia occurs when there is an excessive amount of carbon dioxide in the body. This type of asphyxia is often caused by airway obstruction, such as an asthma attack or choking.
Stagnant Asphyxia occurs when oxygen is present but is not adequately circulated in the body. This type of asphyxia is often caused by prolonged confinement or being trapped in a confined space.
