Features of Postasphic Conditions In Children And Adolescents

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.
