  distress (syndrome) ( J80 ) anoxia due to high altitude ( T70.2 ) asphyxia NOS ( R09.01 ) asphyxia from carbon monoxide ( T58.- ) asphyxia from inhalation of food or foreign body ( T17.- ) asphyxia from other gases, fumes and vapors ( T59.- ) respiratory [icd10data.com]

  Tamponade can also induce cyanosis, respiratory distress, but more likely hemodynamic instability [10]. Traumatic asphyxia cases should be monitored after securing the airway. [ijcasereportsandimages.com]

  He was managed as a trauma patient, his airway was described as patent, tachypneic but in no major respiratory distress, breath sounds were clear bilaterally with equal intensity in both hemithoraces, no pathologic sounds were auscultated. [casereports.in]

  Other causes of oxygen deficiency include but are not limited to: Acute respiratory distress syndrome Carbon monoxide inhalation, such as that from a car exhaust and the smoke's emission from a lighted cigarette : carbon monoxide has a higher affinity [en.wikipedia.org]

• Dyspnea

  Nine patients had tachypnea and 7 complained of dyspnea. Most of the patients suffered some associated injuries including 8 head injuries, 7 pulmonary contusions, and 6 cases of blunt abdominal trauma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Hypotension

  Tachycardia and hypotension will become profound, followed by decreased level of consciousness. [medictests.com]

  The authors say that even though the amount of hemorrhage was small, optic nerve ischemia could have been aggravated by a combination of the relatively long duration of compression, inadequate ventilation, arterial hypotension and venous hypertension. [aao.org]

  The patient most likely will be hypovolemic, hypoxic and become hypotensive and may go into shock when the weight is removed How do we treat it pre-hospital: The treatment for traumatic asphyxia is similar to the treatment for crush syndrome. [mstcparamedic.pbworks.com]

• Visual Impairment

  In children, visual impairment is easily missed unless the degree of handicap is severe. All children should have their fundi and visual acuity assessed before discharge following significant trauma, including all episodes of traumatic asphyxia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The authors conclude that ischemia of the optic nerve associated with retrobulbar hemorrhage may be one of the causes of permanent visual impairment following traumatic asphyxia. [aao.org]

  This case demonstrates that ischemia of the optic nerve associated with retrobulbar hemorrhage may be postulated as one of the causes of permanent visual impairment following traumatic asphyxia. [synapse.koreamed.org]

• 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]

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]
