The epidemiology of traumatic asphyxia in Zimbabwe is unknown but the conditions predisposing to it are present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Death in Childhood

  OBJECTIVE: The present study was undertaken to examine specific features of unintentional traumatic asphyxial deaths in childhood. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Oral Bleeding

  He was cyanotic in his face and had a tire mark from the left shoulder to the right abdomen, petechiae on the head, face, conjunctiva and chest, oral bleeding, and facial edema. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Retinal Hemorrhage

  Intracranial and retinal hemorrhages have been surprisingly infrequent in traumatic asphyxia. [synapse.koreamed.org]

  They say that intracranial and retinal hemorrhages have been surprisingly infrequent in traumatic traumatic asphyxia patients, with the prognosis for vision usually good and vision loss temporary. [aao.org]

  Visual disturbances occur in some cases [9], secondary to the same mechanism as neurological involvement with multiple presentations: retinal hemorrhage, retrobulbar hemorrhage and vitreous exudates [2]. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

  At ocular level there may be exophthalmos, double vision, loss of visual acuity, and blurry vision, these alterations are explained by retinal hemorrhages [ 12 ]. [casereports.in]

• Chemosis

  Uncommon features: Chemosis Exophthalmos Retinal haemorrhages and visual loss Vitreous haemorrhagic exudates (Purtscher’s retinopathy- Choi et al, 2010 ) Retrobulbar (posterior orbital) haemorrhages Haemotympanum Other sequelae: Loss of consciousness [derangedphysiology.com]

  In a bedside ophthalmologic examination, severe bilateral subconjunctival hemorrhages, chemosis, severe periorbital swelling, and mild exophthalmos were found ( Fig. 1 ). [synapse.koreamed.org]

• Periorbital Ecchymosis

  He came to the emergency room with periorbital ecchymosis and bilateral conjunctival hemorrhage. Imaging studies showed left clavicular fracture, rib fractures and pulmonary contusion without other associated pathologies. [casereports.in]

  The differential diagnosis of this syndrome includes obstruction of the superior vena cava, skull base fracture which clinical presentation contains: sub-conjunctival hemorrhage, periorbital ecchymosis, epistaxis and otorrhagia. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

• Neck Pain

  Neither were associated with neck pain, neck tenderness, or mechanism of injury associated with cervical injury, and each resolved spontaneously. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Facial Petechiae

  Traumatic asphyxia is an uncommon syndrome of craniocervical cyanosis, facial petechiae, and subconjunctival hemorrhages following severe crush injury to the thorax. Ocular manifestations of the syndrome have rarely been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  All of these findings (conjunctival/facial petechiae, craniofacial congestion/swelling) were present in all of our patients. [link.springer.com]

• Neck Edema

  The patient had facial purple congestion, diffuse head and neck edema and petechiae in the entire face, neck and upper chest (Figure 1). [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

• Agitated Delirium

  These factors included compression of the neck, intoxication with illicit drugs, alcohol or psychotropic agents, psychiatric or drug-induced state of agitated delirium, or internal diseases. [charlydmiller.com]

• Microscopic Hematuria

  Microscopic hematuria was noted in one patient. Diagnosis is made from the history and characteristic appearance of the patient. Treatment is directed to the associated injury. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

During workup a comprehensive metabolic panel and a complete blood count were normal. An arterial blood gas showed mild acute respiratory alkalosis. An electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm. Troponin levels were within normal limits. [casereports.in]

Treatment is directed to the associated injury. Oxygen supplement with head elevation to 30 degrees is the mainstay of treatment. If the patient survives the initial insult, the prognosis is excellent. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Results The treatment included bilateral chest tube thoracostomy in one patient, and the others required supportive treatment. There was no mortality. [link.springer.com]

All of them made a good prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Traumatic asphyxia has a good prognosis. Supportive treatment such as oxygenation and elevation of the head to 30 is usually sufficient in the management of these patients. However, specific treatments may be needed for the associated injuries. [doi.org]

Other etiologies of Perthes syndrome are: motor vehicle crashes, crushing in a panicked crowd, entrapment beneath vehicles or falling down in a narrow space [5]. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

A case of traumatic asphyxia is reported, and its clinical and pathophysiologic features are discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The pathophysiology of traumatic asphyxia is different in children compared to adults, because of the greater elasticity of the thorax in children. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]

Cooperative review and modification of stadium policies and design may prevent such events in the future. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology of traumatic asphyxia "Traumatic asphyxia" is defined as "a form of suffocation where respiration is prevented by external pressure on the body". [derangedphysiology.com]
