AI overview

Asphyxia is a life-threatening condition in which the body doesn't get enough oxygen due to abnormal breathing, and it can lead to coma or death if the oxygen deprivation continues long enough. It can result from many different circumstances that prevent a person from breathing adequately, and in 2015 alone, unintentional suffocation cases caused over 35,000 deaths worldwide.
