Violent asphyxia is a type of asphyxia, or oxygen deprivation, that is caused by external force, like strangulation or suffocation. It can be caused by a variety of objects, such as a noose, pillow, or hand. Violent asphyxia can result in death, brain damage, and other serious medical complications. It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms associated with violent asphyxia, such as difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, or change in skin color. It is also important to seek medical attention immediately if you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms.
