Hyperbaric Oxygen in the Treatment of Posthanging Cerebral Anoxia

  • Conference paper
Anaesthesia, Pain, Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine - A.P.I.C.E.

Abstract

Hanging leads to post-anoxic encephalopathy and cerebral death by gradual or acute, partial or complete failure of brain oxygen supply, in relation with a circulatory arrest at the cephalic level. Attempted suicide is the most common situation, but accidental hanging may also occur.
