Strangulation (domestic violence) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Strangulation (domestic violence) Strangulation is one of the most lethal forms of assault by an intimate partner: unconsciousness may occur within seconds and death within minutes or less. Strangulation can be difficult to detect and until recently was often not treated as a serious crime. ==Strangulation is not choking==
Although sometimes the words are used interchangeably, "strangulation" and "choking" are not the same thing. Choking is when air flow is blocked by food or a foreign object in the trachea – something that can be addressed by the Heimlich maneuver. Strangulation, by contrast, is defined by reduced air flow and/or blood flow to or from the brain via the intentional external compression of blood vessels or the airway in the neck. Notably, however, many victims of strangulation refer to the assault as "choking". Manual strangulation (i.e., gripping the throat with one’s hands) is the most common method of strangulation in intimate partner violence, although ligatures (e.g., belts, scarves) are sometimes used.
