It can take less than 10 seconds for a person to lose consciousness as a result of strangulation, and death can occur in just under five minutes.
- Strangling - WikipediaStrangling or strangulation is compression of the neck that may lead to unconsciousness or death by causing an increasingly hypoxic state in the brain by restricting the flow of oxygen through the trachea. [1]
- Guidelines for clinical management of non-fatal strangulationStrangulation is defined as asphyxia by closure of the blood vessels and/or air passages of the neck as a result of external pressure on the neck. There are three main categories: hanging, ligature strangulation and manual strangulation1. Non-fatal strangulation (NFS) is where the patient has not died.
- Strangulation, Domestic Violence, and Brain InjuryDistinctly different than choking, strangulation is the application of pressure to the neck that restricts blood vessels and air passages. This in turn results in asphyxiation, or the restriction of oxygen, where oxygen fails to reach the brain and other parts of the body.
- Strangulation Injuries - StatPearls - NCBI BookshelfStrangulation injuries occur when external forces are applied to the neck leading to a variety of traumatic pathology. If the injury is severe enough cerebral perfusion and oxygen delivery is threatened and can lead to asphyxia and rapid neuronal death.
