Abstract

Recent epidemiological studies demonstrate significant regional differences in the structure and frequency of asphyxial conditions. In developed countries, cases of suicidal hanging (45-60% of all mechanical asphyxia cases), drowning (20-25%), and asphyxia in road traffic accidents (8-12%) are predominant. In contrast, in developing regions, occupational poisoning with carbon monoxide and other toxic substances accounts for a significant share (up to 30-35% of cases).
