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.

Kvävning är ett hindrande av någons andning, vilket kan leda till döden. Ordet används även i överförd betydelse, om situationer där man hindrar eller undertrycker en process; man kan kväva en eld, ett uppror eller en gäspning. Försvårande av andning kan vara del av ett våldsutövande mot någon. En form av kvävning är storkna vid sväljning, vilket kräver omedelbar första hjälpen.
