Mechanical asphyxia!!

Mechanical asphyxia!!

This patient died to an orange slice, which is seen lodged in the trachea. 🍊 Death by accidental mechanical asphyxia in adults is infrequent and usually results from chocking/aspiration, entrapment, ligature strangulation by clothes catching in machinery (especially as occupational deaths) and, more frequently, sexual asphyxia. Choking is an example of mechanical asphyxia and it involves the blockage of internal airways (posterior pharynx, larynx, trachea, and/or bronchi) by a foreign object. example to that is a toy balloon lodged in child's airway, food bolus impacted at epiglottis, or well, a huge orange slice.

Hello! I am a medical illustration student and would love to draw a study of these images. Do you know who I can give credit to for taking the images. Is this your own case study?
