I'm trying to figure out what the name asphyxia means and was hoping to get some help from other forum users. Does anyone know what the term asphyxia means, or have any information about it? I'm interested in learning more about it and would appreciate any insight that other forum users can provide.

Asphyxia is a medical term used to describe a lack of oxygen to the body due to difficulty breathing. It can occur due to a number of causes, including choking, drowning, strangulation, or exposure to a toxic gas. When someone experiences asphyxia, their body is deprived of oxygen, leading to serious complications such as tissue damage, organ failure, and eventually death. Asphyxia is sometimes referred to as "the silent killer" due to its ability to quickly and silently take a person's life.
