What is the meaning of asphyxia

[DigitalExplorer]

I'm hoping to get some help from other forum users about the meaning of asphyxia. I've heard about it before but I'm not sure what it means, or how it's related to health. Could someone explain what it is and why it's important to be aware of it? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated.

Asphyxia is a condition that occurs when an individual is deprived of oxygen. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including choking, drowning, suffocation, and strangulation. Symptoms of asphyxia may include dizziness, confusion, and unconsciousness. In severe cases, death may occur. In order to prevent asphyxia, it is important to be aware of potential dangers and to take precautions to avoid them. For instance, when swimming, it is important to stay within your depth and never swim alone. It is also important to be aware of any objects or substances that could potentially block the airways, and to never put oneself in a position where the airways can become blocked.
