Traumatic asphyxia is a clinical syndrome related to cervicofascial cyanosis, petechiae, subconjunctival haemorrhages and neurological symptoms. This syndrome occurs after a transient, severe and compressive blunt thoracic trauma. Here, we presented two cases of traumatic asphyxia. They both had prominent petechiae on upper parts of their bodies.

Traumatic asphyxia is a rare condition in children that usually occurs after severe compression to the chest or abdomen. We report 3 cases in patients 18, 20, and 36 months of age who presented signs and symptoms of traumatic asphyxia after car accidents. Two clinical features were consistent in all 3 patients: multiple petechiae on the face and bulbar

Traumatic asphyxia is probably much more common than the surgical literature shows and should always be kept in mind as a possible complication of injuries of the chest and abdomen.Traumatic asphyxia or Perte's syndrome results from a severe crush injury causing sudden compression of the thorax.

Pulmonary giant cells and traumatic asphyxia [PDF]
A morphometrical analysis was performed to elucidate the significance of pulmonary polynuclear giant cells as a histological sign of asphyxiation. A total of 13 cases of homicidal strangulation of throttling, 8 cases of traumatic asphyxia due to chest ...

Asphyxia is defined as an oxygen deficiency, which leads to hypoxic and ischemic lesions of the brain and/or to death (Spitz 2006). Asphyxia can be divided into mechanical or atmospheric asphyxia.

Consequences of birth asphyxia [PDF]
To investigate the relationship between birth asphyxia and neurological impairment a cohort of 184 infants with a low (≤3) one-minute Apgar score was studied. All were singletons, apparently normally formed, and born at term (≥37 weeks' gestation) in the

Intrapartum-related neonatal encephalopathy incidence and impairment at regional and global levels for 2010 with trends from 1990. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Intrapartum hypoxic events ("birth asphyxia") may result in stillbirth, neonatal or postneonatal mortality, and impairment. Systematic morbidity estimates for the burden of impairment outcomes are currently limited.

Pilot randomized trial of therapeutic hypothermia with serial cranial ultrasound and 18-22 month follow-up for neonatal encephalopathy in a low resource hospital setting in Uganda: study protocol [PDF]
Background: There is now convincing evidence that in industrialized countries therapeutic hypothermia for perinatal asphyxial encephalopathy increases survival with normal neurological function. However, the greatest burden of perinatal asphyxia falls in
