Talk:Asphyxia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sensual Asphyxia,in the BDSM language,is the method when a people try to take total control over other trought the breath control.This practise is accepted in the BDSM lifestyle.
I find the italicized warning about erotic asphyxia to be highly insulting - breath control is a safe activity practiced by thousands without incident. Editing to reflect even a modicum of neutrality. Wrath0fb0b

[edit] Asphyxia through hypobaric, Altitude, conditions
You may want to add anoxia, really hypoxia, through hypobaric conditions (as opposed to hyperbaric) such as altitude. Pilots can go unconcious on aircraft depressurisation as low as 20,000', although with practice and aclimatisation people climb to 26,000'+ and remain both conscious and active. Death will occur fairly quickly at 30,000'. Sorry no reliable detail on the exact altitudes. Some stuff under high altitude chamber.

[edit] lack of oxegen
more carbon dioxide less oxegen to the body..what is the outcome.results'
[edit] More about plastic bag asphyxia...
It's been neglected to be mentioned that plastic bags are used in murder to suffocate. Could someone add more on this?Ollie the Magic Skater 02:24, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] references
something is wrong with the references, but as it uses Cite.php I am not sure how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. BadCRC 17:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- I fixed it. Although the system used now is a bit awkward with cite.php mixed with the old footnotes. But it works. --Marcus 01:11, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- I noticed that it doesn't work after all. Oh well, I don't know which system will replace this method, as far as i know, cite.php does not yet have that kind of support. --Marcus 01:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RE: Drowning
Check number 3: "Physical obstruction of the flow of air to the lungs". Does the thing for drowning make sense? And second, should it even be on there? Drowning is when fluid builds in the lungs. Different than asphyxia. Can someone second this for me? J.T. 01:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The picture
It'd be thoughtful if someone changes the picture to the right(which currently contains a suffocated woman in a bikini swimsuit) to another containing a man, because the current one is offensive for us, Muslims, as it is forbidden to see such parts of woman's body(except for our wives) check the following link for details Women_in_Muslim_societies#Clothing. unfortunatly, I don't have any pictures of a man suffocating, If I had I would have changed it myself.
- Picture removed, but mostly because it was misleading for the main infobox, as asphyxia doesn't necessarily connote drowning.--Elcocinero 16:55, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The picture (again)
Is the picture necessary at all ? The text makes it clear what asphyxia is. I don't like the image.
[edit] Do we really need a picture of a corpse?
...
I don't think so. The opening sentence makes the topic clear - "Asphyxia is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally".
...
The picture should go.
- Even the article on death doesn't have a picture of a corpse. I know Wikipedia isn't censored and blah blah blah but I don't think it's appropriate to have this picture. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 01:50, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Though I don't really care about seeing dead people, I agree it doesn't really add much to the article. Since no one has voiced an opinion otherwise, I removed it. Feel free to debate further if you disagree! InvictaHOG 02:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Excellent. Thank you all!
[edit] Health effects
Where are the health effects? Is this page just a list of ways to suffocate yourself? Fresheneesz 21:27, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
-
- The Hypoxia page also doesn't talk about health effects. Fresheneesz 21:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
