what is asphyxiated?

Question

is it strangled... suffociated...!!!

Answer 1

Suffocation, or restriction of oxygen supply.

Asphyxiation can happen by strangulation, or any number of ways (a bag over the head, smothered with a pillow, drowning, etc.)

Answer 2

What Is Asphyxiated

Answer 3

Asphyxiation is a loss of consciousness due to the presence of too little oxygen or too much carbon dioxide in the blood. The victim may stop breathing for a number of reasons (i.e. drowning, electric shock, heart failure, poisoning, or suffocation). The flow of oxygen throughout the body stops within a matter of minutes if a person's respiratory system fails. Heart failure, brain damage, and eventual death will result if the victim's breathing cannot be restarted.

Answer 4

Asphyxia (from Greek a-, "without" and sphuxis, "pulse, heartbeat") is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally. Asphyxia causes generalized hypoxia, which primarily affects the tissues and organs most sensitive to hypoxia first, such as the brain, hence resulting in cerebral hypoxia. Asphyxia is usually characterized by air hunger but this is not always the case; the urge to breathe is triggered by rising carbon dioxide levels in the blood rather than diminishing oxygen levels. Sometimes there is not enough carbon dioxide to cause air hunger, and victims become hypoxic without knowing it. In any case, the absence of effective remedial action will very rapidly lead to unconsciousness, brain damage and death.[1] The constriction of the arteries and/or veins in the neck, such as in certain types of strangulations, do not cause asphyxia but rather cerebral ischemia (local asphyxia[citation needed]). Asphyxiation or suffocation refer to the process of asphyxia, where the body becomes increasingly hypoxic.

Answer 5

Suffocated!

Answer 6

Suffocated.

Answer 7

there is many causes of asphyxiation both deliberate or medical the main meaning of the word is deprivation of oxygen to the lungs and brain not necessarily causing death i.e partial asphyxiation caused by a crush injury or quincy.

Answer 8

it is basically dying due to lack of air. so strangled, suffocated, carbon monoxide poisoning, etc all count as being asphyxiated

Answer 9

It's any situation where death occurs through the oxygen intake being cut off. Strangling being one of them.
