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.

L’asphyxie (du grec ancien ἀσφυξία, asphyxia: arrêt du pouls) est un terme médical signifiant l'arrêt plus ou moins long de la circulation d'oxygène dans le corps. L'asphyxie de l'humain est une urgence médicale. Sans action extérieure, l'asphyxie mène rapidement à l'inconscience puis à la mort. Une asphyxie prolongée peut également entraîner des séquelles au cerveau. Les causes de l'asphyxie sont: * une fausse route: l'étouffement par l'obstruction des voies respiratoires en une ingestion; * la noyade; * la suffocation; * la strangulation; * l'absorption de gaz irrespirables; * la compression du thorax; * le rétrécissement du larynx; * l'absorption très importante d'alcool; * le confinement excessif de la bouche et du nez (dans un sac plastique, dans une avalanche). Des problèmes durant la naissance peuvent causer l'asphyxie.
