Understanding Asphyxia: Causes and Effects in the Forensic Context

Delve into the world of asphyxia, a condition where cells fail to receive oxygen, exploring hypoxia and its types like hypoxic, anemic, and stagnant hypoxia. Learn about the classical signs of asphyxia, phases, and forensic implications. Examples include vascular and air compression disrupting oxygen uptake, transport, or utilization. Blurb from "Asphyxia in Forensic Pathology" by Dolinak and Matshes (2005) and mention of petechiae in the conjunctiva. Explore the truth behind asphyxia in this informative read.

  1. ASPHYXIA Ulfa Camelia Indiasari Forensic and Medicolegal Department Faculty of Medicine Hasanuddin University

  2. What is asphyxia? A condition where there is a failure of the cells to receive or utilize oxygen

  3. Hypoxia Failure of oxygen to enter the blood circulation Hypoxic hypoxia Insufficient of adequate oxygen for tissue metabolism Anemic hypoxia Circulatory failure Stagnant hypoxia Oxygen in RBC can’t be used by the tissue Histotoxic hypoxia

  4. Classical sign of asphyxia

  5. Phases of asphyxia

  6. Cutting of air supply • Vascular and/or air compression Disrupting O2 uptake, transport or/and utilization

  7. Thank you To the living we owe our respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth

  8. Note the petechiae of the palpebral conjunctiva. Note the petechiae of thebulbar conjunctiva. Dolinak David, Matshes Evan. Asphyxia in Forensic Pathology-Principles and Practices. 2005

  9. Note the bluish lip
