What are the methods of asphyxiation

summary

Suffocation death is a hot topic. How do people understand it. Asphyxiated breathing will cause death. We should try our best to reduce the chance of asphyxiating death of some patients. Let's popularize the methods of asphyxiating death.

What are the methods of asphyxiation

First: suffocation. What is suffocation? Asphyxia is the process that the airway is blocked, resulting in fresh air can not enter the patient's lungs, exhaust gas can not be discharged, and finally the patient dies due to hypoxia. Mechanical asphyxia refers to the asphyxia caused by mechanical action, such as hanging, strangling, strangling neck, blocking respiratory tract with objects, compressing chest and abdomen, acute laryngeal edema or food inhalation into trachea

Second: liquid or small pieces of foreign body into the airway, the airway completely blocked, even if the patient is awake, also can not breathe, if not timely rescue will lead to death. Pathological asphyxia, such as the loss of respiratory area caused by drowning and pneumonia; ④ central respiratory arrest caused by cerebral circulation disorders; ⑤ neonatal asphyxia and asphyxia caused by hypoxia in the air (such as closing in the box and cabinet, oxygen in the air gradually decreases, etc.).

Third: if a liquid or small foreign body enters the airway, the patient will cough violently. At this time, the patient can be encouraged to continue coughing, or the patient can be patted on the back to help cough up the foreign body. Toxic asphyxia, such as carbon monoxide poisoning, a large amount of carbon monoxide is inhaled into the lung from the respiratory tract, enters the blood, and combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which hinders the combination and dissociation of oxygen and hemoglobin, leading to asphyxia caused by tissue hypoxia;

matters needing attention

In the future, we must pay attention to diet or drinking water. When the throat is blocked by sputum, we must learn to help ourselves, so that the indoor air can flow, reduce the indoor carbon monoxide poisoning leading to asphyxia, and minimize the compression of the neck, chest, abdomen and respiratory tract, so as to reduce the occurrence of asphyxia.
