The trachea requires 33 lb of pressure.

And weight of the head (10-12 lb) is sufficient to

occlude the carotid arteries and cause of death.

Asphyxia can literally be translated

from the Greek as meaning 'absence of
pulse', but is usually the term given to
deaths due to 'anoxia' or 'hypoxia'.
The term 'asphyxia' is thought by some
forensic pathologists to be a vague and
confusing term.

In its broadest sense it refers to a

state in which the body becomes
deprived of oxygen while in excess of
carbon dioxide (ie. hypoxia and
hypercapnoea).

The classic sign of `asphyxia`

Petechial hemorrhages
Congestion and edema
Cyanosis
Fluidity of the blood

Petechiae are often known as `tardieu`s spot`,

and discribed at the first time by the Parisian
Professor Ambroise Tardeu in 1866, in the
bodies of infants who he called had been
`overlain`
A common error is to attribute the petechie to
the rupture of capillaries, whereas they actually
emanate from small venules - capillary
bleeding would be invisible to the naked eye.

Petechiae are caused by an acute rise in

venous pressure that in turn causes over
distension and rupture of thin walled peripheral
venules, specially in lax tissues, such as eyelid,
and in unsupported serous membranes, such
as the viceral plura especially in the interlobar
fissures and epicardium, thymus. In the brain,
petechiae may be larger patches of bleeding in
the subarachnoid space where superficial
vessels have ruptured.

It is traditionally claimed that hypoxia of the

vein wall is an added factor, but there is no
experimental proof of this conjecture, for
example, petechiae can appear almost
instantly after violent sneezing or coughing
before any hypoxia is possible.

Posture also has an affect on the appearance

of haemorrhages. They are commonly seen,
along with larger ecchymoses, on the front or
back of corpses who have died from a variety
of causes in which mechanical asphyxia is
absent.
They are often present in normal post mortem
hypostasis, especially where the mode of death
was congestive as in many types of natural
heart disease.

Another problem in the autopsy interprestation

of petechiae is that not all punctate lesions in
the pleura are petechiae. Zaini and Knight
showed that many such apparent petechiae
were either intravascular venous pools,
subpleural microbullae or pigment foci.
In some types of death where oxygen
deprivation is to be expected (such as
drowning, plastic bag suffocation and entering
an atmosphere devoid of oxygen), petechiae
are seldom demonstrable.

In summary, petechial hemorrhages are highly

unreliable indicators of an asphyxial process,
taking this to mean a hypoxic state.
They are the result of venous engorgement,
usually from mechanical obstruction of venous
return to the heart or in the thorax from
attempts to inspire against a blocked airway.

 Congestion and edema

Congestion and edema this is even more non specific
than petechiae and once again is the result of
obstructed venous return.
Congestion is often associated with tissue swelling if
the venous obstruction continues. The edema is the
result of rapid transudation through capillary and
venule walls, again mainly a function of back pressure
in the venous system.

Hypoxia of the vascular endothelium is alleged to allow

increased permeability, but generalized hypoxia from
other causes does not produce the tissue swelling
seen in strangulation.
Pulmonary oedema, causing excess fluid to enter the
alveoli, is often found in hypoxic death. Here the
mechanism is more obscure, but it is probably a
combination of hypoxia and raised pulmonary vessel
presure.

 Cyanosis
The bluish color of post mortem lividity does not
have the same connotation as cyanosis produced
during life. The term "cyanosis", which means a
bluish discoloration of the skin or mucous
membranes, should be confined to clinical
descriptions and not used for corpses .

In the living, the cyanotic color of the blood

requires the presence of at least 5 g of reduced
haemoglobin per cent in the capillary blood.
However, in the corpse, oxygen dissociation
continues and there may be reflux of
deoxygenated venous blood into the capillaries.
For these reasons, the blood of a cadaver
becomes purplish-blue, but this is not the result
of a pathophysiological change occurring during
life, e.g. strangulation.

The normal color of areas of post mortem lividity is a

cyanotic hue, but this description should not be used
since it is misleading.

Cyanosis produced during life may be partly or

wholly overshadowed by hypostasis, which may
be a deep purple or blue, and may be mistaken
for true cyanosis indeed, some pathologist
refuse to use `cyanosis` in respect o the dead,
claiming that it cannot reflect the ante-mortem
situation.
