Hi everyone,

I am looking for help regarding the primary external signs of strangulation. I know that strangulation can cause severe physical and psychological damage, and I want to know what the primary external signs of strangulation are. I am particularly interested in any changes that occur in the skin or the face, as well as any other physical signs that may indicate strangulation.

Strangulation is the act of cutting off the air supply or blood flow to the brain by applying pressure to the neck or throat. Strangulation is a serious form of assault that can result in death. It is important to recognize the primary external signs of strangulation in order to provide appropriate medical care and to ensure the safety of the victim.

External Signs

The primary external signs of strangulation include:

• Swelling or bruising of the neck
• Petechial hemorrhage (blood spots on the skin of the neck)
• Redness in the neck area
• Difficulty in breathing or speaking
• Impaired vision or consciousness
• Abnormal breathing patterns
• Changes in the voice or the voice becoming hoarse
• Drooling or drooping of the tongue
• Loss of consciousness

Medical Care

If you suspect that someone has been strangled, it is important to provide immediate medical care. This includes calling for emergency medical help and performing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) if necessary. Additionally, it is important to provide support to the victim and to document any physical signs of strangulation.
