Asphyxiation risks

Asphyxiation occurs when the body isn't getting enough oxygen, which can happen if inhaled air is blocked or oxygen levels drop. This can lead to unconsciousness or death if not addressed promptly. Risks include choking, suffocation, strangulation, or exposure to hazardous substances that displace oxygen. Important safety measures involve ensuring clear airflow, avoiding obstructive objects around the nose and mouth, and recognizing warning signs like difficulty breathing, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. Immediate action, such as clearing obstructions or seeking emergency help, is critical to prevent serious injury or death from oxygen deprivation.
