What is Understanding Mechanical Asphyxia about?
1. Mechanical asphyxia refers to obstruction of breathing through external pressure or interference. 2. The most common cause of death in hanging is asphyxia due to blocking of both the jugular veins and carotid arteries in the neck, cutting off oxygen to the brain. 3. Key signs of antemortem hanging include ligature marks on the neck directed obliquely upwards on both sides, petechial hemorrhages on the face, and a protruding, swollen tongue.
