Features of Postasphic Conditions In Children And Adolescents
Main Article Content
Abstract
The results of a comparative analysis of cases of incomplete asphyxia in children, adolescents and adults based on the materials of forensic medical examinations conducted in three regions of Uzbekistan in 2017-2020 are presented. It was found that children and adolescents accounted for 12.9% of all cases of post-asphytic conditions and in most cases they were associated with an attempted suicide by hanging. Among them, males prevailed significantly than among adults. The unconscious state in children and adolescents was more prolonged and various convulsions were observed more often than in adults. The incidence of deep coma as a result of impaired brain function is also high in them.
