Hypoxic damage can occur to most of the infant s organs heart , lung s, liver , Gut zoology gut , kidneys , but brain damage is of most concern and perhaps the least likely to quickly or completely heal. In the more pronounced cases, an infant will survive, but with damage to the brain manifested as either mental, such as developmental delay or intellectual disability , or physical, such as spasticity in fact, spastic diplegia and the other forms of cerebral palsy almost always feature asphyxiation during the birth process as a major, if not defining, factor. It results most commonly from a drop in maternal blood pressure or some other substantial interference with blood flow to the infant s brain during childbirth delivery . This can occur due to inadequate circulatory system circulation or perfusion , impaired respiratory effort, or inadequate Ventilation physiology ventilation . Perinatal asphyxia happens in 2 to 10 per 1000 newborns that are born at term, and more for those that are born prematurely. ref cite web url http www.ajnr.org cgi content abstract 11 6 1087 title Brain damage from perinatal asphyxia correlation of MR findings with gestational age Barkovich and Truwit ... ref An infant suffering severe perinatal asphyxia usually has poor color cyanosis , perfusion, responsiveness ... degrees of asphyxia can cause cardiac arrest and death.

Law Enforcement Bulletin. Quantico, Virginia Federal Bureau of Investigation. http www.fbi.gov publications leb 1996 may966.txt ref Positional asphyxia may be a factor in some of these deaths. Positional asphyxia is a potential danger of some physical restraint techniques, People may die from positional asphyxia by simply getting themselves into a breathing restricted position they cannot get out of, either through carelessness or as a consequence of another accident . Research has suggested that restraining a person in a face down position is likely to cause greater restriction of breathing than restraining a person face up. ref Parkes, J. 2002 A Review Of The Literature On Positional Asphyxia As A Possible Cause Of Sudden Death During Restraint.

  1. Autoerotic fatality

    Masturbation Autoerotic fatalities are death s that occur during sexual activity when an action, chemical, device or prop that is being employed to enhance physical or psychological stimulation causes the death. These deaths may be accidental, natural or homicidal and occur in connection with consensual acts, criminal sexual assaults, or autoeroticism autoerotic acts . The term is often applied to only those deaths related to solitary sexual practices such as self bondage and autoerotic asphyxia . In some cases autoerotic fatalities are not initially recognized, and are confused with sexual homicide or suicide , but suicide by autoerotic means is extremely uncommon. Causes of autoerotic deaths included the use of chemicals such as amyl nitrite , GHB , or nitrous oxide , and props and tools such as knives, oversized dildos, ligatures or bags for asphyxiation, duct tape, electrical apparatus for shocks, water for self immersion, fire making equipment for self immolation, or sharp, unhygienic or large fetishized objects. Male victims are much more likely to use a variety of devices during autoerotic behaviour than female victims. The most common causes of death in autoerotic fatalities are asphyxia by strangulation , suffocation, chemical or postural asphyxia postural asphyxia. These causes dominate autoerotic deaths to such an extent that other forms of autoerotic death are termed atypical. Atypical deaths are through causes such as electric shock electrocution , sepsis after bowel perforation , crushing , and accidental self impalement .

  1. Constriction

    Image Diamond Python around ring tail possum.jpg thumb left Diamond Python constricting a Common Ringtail Possum , near Dungog , New South Wales . Constriction is a method used by various snake species to kill their predation prey . Although some species of venomous and mildly venomous snakes do use constriction to subdue their prey, most snakes which use constriction lack venom. ref http www.jstor.org stable 1445266 ref The snake initially strikes at its prey and holds on, pulling the prey into its coils or, in the case of very large prey, pulling itself onto the prey. The snake will then wrap one or two coils around the prey. Image Carpet snake.jpg thumb right 250px A Carpet snake Morelia spilota variegata eating a chicken. Contrary to myth, the snake does not crush the prey, or even break its bone s. Traditionally, it has been thought that snakes hold tightly enough to prevent the prey from drawing air into its lungs, resulting in death from asphyxia . However, some prey items seem to die faster than would be possible through asphyxia, so it has also been suggested that the pressure of constriction causes a rise in the pressure in the prey s body cavity greater than the heart can counter, resulting in immediate cardiac arrest . ref Hardy, David L. 1994 . A re evaluation of suffocation as the cause of death during constriction by snakes. Herpetological Review 229 45 47. ref This new hypothesis has yet to be confirmed, but data indicates that snakes can exert enough pressure for this mechanism to be plausible. ref Moon, 2000.

  1. Total enclosure fetishism

    File 080211 409.JPG thumb Total enclosure zentai suit Total enclosure fetishism is a form of sexual fetishism whereby a person becomes aroused when having entire body enclosed in a certain way. Examples Some total enclosure activities include In Latex and PVC fetishism rubber fetishism , Latex clothing rubber suit s, gas mask s and similar garments and accessories are used for total enclosure. Vacuum bed Vacuum beds rigidly enclose the entire body under a rubber sheet with a small breathing tube. Sleepsack BDSM Sleepsack s and body bag s are also used as less rigid enclosure alternative to the vacuum beds, although some are made in inflatable form to increase pressure on the occupant s body. In spandex fetishism , zentai suits are used for total enclosure in skintight fabric from head to toe. In the case of zentai, the wearer breathes through the loose woven fabric itself, the garment is not as tight as a rubber or Polyvinyl chloride PVC garment would be, and the costume generally comes off with a zipper that can be operated by the wearer. Although experiences of these activities are regarded as claustrophobic , total enclosure fetishists like to practice these activities, sometimes combining them with bondage to intensify feelings of helplessness. Risks As with all activities involving bondage or potential risk to breathing, this is a risky activity. Clearly, maintaining an airway, preventing positional asphyxia , and ensuring that the enclosed person has a means of escape at all times are of paramount importance, if these activities are not to result in death.

  1. Accra Sports Stadium Disaster

    The Accra Sports Stadium disaster occurred at the Accra Sports Stadium , Accra , Ghana on May 9, 2001. It took the lives of 127 people, making it the worst stadium disaster to have ever taken place in Africa . It occurred during a match between Ghana s two most successful football teams, Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club and Asante Kotoko . The home side scored two late goals to defeat Kotoko 2 1 which led to disappointed Kotoko fans throwing plastic seats and bottles onto the pitch. The response to this crowd disturbance from the police was to fire tear gas into the crowd. Panic ensued and a resulting stampede led to the deaths from compressive asphyxia of 127 people. Reports claim that medical staff had already left the stadium, as the incident happened near the end of the match. Some gates were locked, preventing escape. Six police officers were charged with 127 counts of manslaughter afterwards.
