Asphyxia meaning

pathological changes caused by lack of oxygen in respired air, resulting in a deficiency of oxygen in the blood ( (hypercapnia). Symptoms include irregular and disturbed respirations, or a complete absence of breathing, and pallor or cyanosis. Asphyxia may occur whenever there is an interruption in the normal exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the outside air. Some common causes are drowning, electric shock, hanging, suffocation, lodging of a foreign body in the air passages, inhalation of smoke and poisonous gases, and trauma to or disease of the lungs or air passages. Treatment includes immediate remedy of the situation by adj asphyx´�ial, asphyx´iant. Perinatal asphyxia is the major and serious cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates globally.10 WHO reported in 2000 that out of 130 million neonates born globally per year, estimately 4 million neonates die under one month of the age, and it has been shown that 99% of these deaths of neonates occur in developing nations, perinatal asphyxia contributes to almost 23% of these deaths.10 Padayachee N et al11 reported that out of 450 infants 41.1% were females and mean of the gestational age was 39.12.2 weeks, these finding are comparable with our results as male were in higher number i.e.

• Asphyxia: generic term that indicates a condition resulting from an interference with respiration due to the lack of oxygen in the air or in the blood, a failure of cells to utilize oxygen or a failure of the body to eliminate carbon dioxide • Body does not receive or utilize an adequate amount of oxygen • Impairment of oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange • Loss of consciousness and death result from progressive hypoxia / anoxia • Numerous classifications are reported in the literature • Types of asphyxia: suffocation (smothering, choking, confined space and vitiated atmosphere), strangulation (hanging, manual strangulation, ligature strangulation), mechanical (positional, compression), drowning, special types (autoerotic, incaprettamento, judicial hanging, mass suicide hanging) • 3 main mechanisms: respiratory, vascular and nervous • External findings are nonspecific but may support the diagnosis: ligature marks, petechiae, cyanosis • Internal findings suggestive of asphyxia: hyoid and larynx injuries, neck muscles hemorrhage, visceral petechiae • Numerous classifications are reported in the forensic literature ( • A comprehensive classification of asphyxia in the forensic context includes: • Suffocation: asphyxia due to the mechanical obstruction of the respiratory orifices or inadequate amount of oxygen in the environment (smothering, choking, confined spaces / vitiated atmosphere) ( • Strangulation: asphyxia due to external compression of the neck using the body's own...
