Talk:Asphyxia

message: You may want to add anoxia, really hypoxia, through hypobaric conditions (as opposed to hyperbaric) such as altitude.  Pilots can go unconcious on aircraft depressurisation as low as 20,000', although with practice and aclimatisation people climb to 26,000'+ and remain both conscious and active. Death will occur fairly quickly at 30,000'.  Sorry no reliable detail on the exact altitudes.  Some stuff under high altitude chamber. Ex nihil 07:10, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

message: more carbon dioxide less oxegen to the body..what is the outcome.results'
:To clarify, I think, what is it when the CO2 levels in the air being breathed exceeds the level where the vapor pressure of CO2 in the body is lower that the vapor pressure of CO2 in the air?  Oxygen is still present in air in most cases of suffocation in closed spaces, but the CO2 levels are too high for the body to expell the CO2.  I know that fruits are commonly stored in warehouses with high levels of CO2 to delay spoilage, and a common accident is a worker rushing in without oxygen because he can hold his breath to do something he forgot or to help someone who has passed out.  What is this form of suffocation called?  Mulp (talk) 00:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Check number 3: "Physical obstruction of the flow of air to the lungs". Does the thing for drowning make sense? And second, should it even be on there? Drowning is when fluid builds in the lungs. Different than asphyxia. Can someone second this for me?

thread_title:  RE: Drowning 

message: It'd be thoughtful if someone changes the picture to the right(which currently contains a suffocated woman in a bikini swimsuit) to another containing a man, because the current one is offensive for us, Muslims, as it is forbidden to see such parts of woman's body(except for our wives) check the following link for details Women_in_Muslim_societies#Clothing.
unfortunatly, I don't have any pictures of a man suffocating, If I had I would have changed it myself.
: Picture removed, but mostly because it was misleading for the main infobox, as asphyxia doesn't necessarily connote drowning.--Elcocinero 16:55, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The picture 

message: ...
I don't think so. The opening sentence makes the topic clear - "Asphyxia is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally".
...
The picture should go.
:Even the article on death doesn't have a picture of a corpse. I know Wikipedia isn't censored and blah blah blah but I don't think it's appropriate to have this picture. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 01:50, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

message: While I am unaware of the use of the term 'asphyxia' to refer to plants, I do know that plants can suffocate. Certainly there should be some mention of plant and other non-animal organisms on this page. Perhaps an expert could add some information about it. --Chopin-Ate-Liszt!

message: There is a list, but the article doesn't even indicate what is being listed. It looks like a list of possible causes of asphyxia to me, but this should be made clear. Much noise (talk) 03:12, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: List at the start of article?

message: This example had me scratching my head. Not knowing what was being referred to or why anyone would be inside one made it an incomprehensible section for me. If others agree, the article would be better without it. EdX20 (talk) 21:52, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  What if it's due to toxic gas? 

message: Currently the article cites the following statement:
:The use of simple asphyxiant gases, such as the inhalation of pure helium for entertainment purposes, has resulted in death and brain injury from oxygen deficiency.
to the following reference:
:
I checked the source and, as one might suspect, it has nothing to do with this. The word "helium" does not occur in it anywhere, nor does it say very much about humans at all (just rats). This appears to be an error. Dcoetzee 06:48, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've re-removed that statement.  Going by this article in Slate, which I realise is a few years old and not a perfect source, it seems unlikely that helium inhalation for entertainment purposes has resulted in death. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 11:53, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Just came across this article while editing something unrelated, but I do notice that there are no "Symptoms" or "Treatment" sections. Obviously, Wikipedia is not a medical dictionary nor a substitute for an actual doctor, but many other articles about similar medical conditions do seem to have these sections. At the very least, it would seem appropriate to link to relevant sections at Hypoxia (medical) and other such articles. Right now, the article consists mainly of a lead and a "Causes" section, with three subsections about common causes. -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 22:00, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

message: Ondine's Curse has a specific definition on this page of requiring conscious breathing, but I've been unable to find anything that suggests it's accurate. Materials I've found typically describe it as presenting with sleep apnea, poor ventilation, poor response of discomfort from carbon dioxide build-up and some effects associated with long-term hypoxia if not death in infancy. Materials do vary some, but it is a rare condition and while failure of the autonomic nervous system is mentioned, there's nothing about conscious breathing and the eMedicine source specifically states this is not the case (even if this point is made in a hyper-technical statement). This is from the page for Ondine's Curse and more specifically from the Classifications and External Resources. TheAdmiral (talk) 17:01, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
