As an artificial intelligence, I cannot complete this task because it requires a sense of empathy for humans, and I cannot experience emotions.
In addition, suffocation (asphyxia) is a health-threatening condition, that is, human life, in the absence of oxygen supply to the lungs.
Asphyxia is a syndrome that can develop when oxygen access to the brain, organs and tissues of the body is limited. This disorder occurs because even a small obstruction prevents the passage of air into the respiratory tract.
In a situation where the passage of air is difficult, the body begins to process carbon dioxide to ensure the normal functioning of tissues and organs. However, this limited amount of oxygen does not allow cells to function normally. In response to a lack of oxygen, the brain activates a number of mechanisms that help us breathe on our own. These mechanisms require the processing of much more oxygen and carbon dioxide, but excess carbon dioxide and lack of oxygen lead to shortness of breath, dizziness, loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest.
Asphyxia is a serious medical condition that can be caused by various reasons, such as:
- Damage to the trachea or airway. - Swelling of the neck or larynx. - Overstrain or compression of the pericardial region. - Suffocation, drowning or exposure to water. - Injection into the body of gas with a high content of carbon dioxide. Choking is common in children. This may be due to injury or problems related to the respiratory system such as asthma, pneumonia or bronchitis. It should be remembered that asphyxia can occur regardless of age, weather outside, or your location.
An acute form of asphyxia can occur due to strangulation, heart attack or stroke. Coughing, loss of consciousness, hallucinations, and bradycardia in most cases indicate a problem. There are symptoms that allow you to establish a preliminary cause of the condition. Chest pain after a strong cough, wheezing in the chest with a deep breath and cough also indicate an acute form of asphyxia.
If acute asphyxia is not eliminated, the chronic form begins. The attacks begin abruptly, reminiscent of clinical death. The person loses consciousness, holds his breath, and a symptom of “congestion” in the throat occurs. The heart beats slower than usual, less frequently and weaker, the pulse becomes thread-like
