  1. A condition arising when the body is deprived of oxygen, causing unconsciousness or death; suffocation

  1. a condition in which insufficient or no oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged on a ventilatory basis; caused by choking or drowning or electric shock or poison gas
  2. Asphyxia (from Greek a-, "without" and σφύξις sphyxis, "heartbeat") is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally. An example of asphyxia is choking. ...
  3. A condition in which an extreme decrease in the concentration of oxygen in the body accompanied by an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide leads to loss of consciousness or death. ...
  4. a general term used to describe inadequate intake of oxygen by the baby.
  5. lack of oxygen or inability of cells to use oxygen; simple asphyxia is suffocation caused by a lack of oxygen in the inhaled air; chemical asphyxia poisons the blood's ability to carry oxygen or the cell's ability to use oxygen.
  6. interference with circulation and oxygenation of the blood that leads to loss of consciousness.
  7. Death caused by being deprived of oxygen. Can be caused by strangulation, suffocation, choking, or smothering.
  8. Literally means pulselessness or severe breathlessness. This is a mode, rather than a cause of death.
  9. Severe lack of oxygen leading to loss of consciousness and, if not corrected, death.
  10. term used to indicate the interruption of blood gas exchange or blood flow, causing low oxygen and high carbon dioxide and acidosis to accumulate in the body. This can be a result of cord problems during pregnancy and birth and manifested with poor Apgar Scores and long term problems
  11. Death caused by suffocation as a result of the lack of oxygen and increase of carbon dioxide in the blood. Also known as apnoea.
  12. a condition of impaired gas exchange which leads, if persistant, to hypoxemia and hypercapnia; process is identified by fetal acidosis (as measured in umbilical arterial blood), which reflects the degree of anaerobic metabolism required during periods of hypoxia or increased oxygen demand
  13. condition of hypoxia caused by insufficient oxygen intake.
  14. Lack of oxygen. Asphyxia is one of the leading causes of brain damage in newborns that leads to Cerebral Palsy.
  15. Too little oxygen and too much carbon dioxide in the blood, causing the baby to suffocate.
  16. This occurs when the blood supply does not receive enough oxygen leading to a loss of consciousness, and possible death or brain damage. Asphyxia may be caused by anything that cuts off the oxygen supply such as a collapsed or twisted umbilical cord, an obstructed airway, or prolonged labor. ...
  17. suffocation: a life threatening condition in which oxygen is prevented from reaching the tissues by obstruction of or damage to any part of the respiratory system. Drowning, choking, and breathing poisonous gas all lead to asphyxia. ...
  18. Suffocation; characterized by hypercarbia and hypoxemia.
  19. a lack of adequate oxygen supply to the tissues
  20. Lack of proper blood flow and oxygen.
  21. Impaired or impeded breathing.
