Halloween is a traditional festival between Catholic and Orthodox Church. It blesses the saints in heaven by holding religious rituals commemorating the sacrifice of Jesus , which is the "Day of Saints in the World". To put it bluntly, it is the Western Ghost Festival. In the Catholic view, the dead souls of the dead will return to the world on this day, looking for the living and looking for creatures in them, so that they can be reborn. Living people are afraid that the undead will come to us, so they disguised themselves as demons and monsters on this day to scare away the undead.
was originally a very sacred memorial ceremony, but it slowly evolved into a funny and funny festival. Now, coupled with commercial hype, it has become a happy celebration. However, the stampede accident in South Korea this time at the Halloween event in Itaewon made more than 100 people unable to escape the fate of death.
According to Korean media reports, This serious stampede accident has killed 154 people. The street scene exposed at the scene also makes people feel a terrifying atmosphere. Some rescue agencies teach how to save themselves when stampede accidents occur. Let’s take a look at what kind of suffocation most people reported in the media are suffocation and what kind of pain they have experienced at the end of their lives.
According to the classification of asphyxia in forensic pathology , it can be roughly divided into the following types:
suffocation
This is easy to understand. It can be pressed by hands or other soft things at the same time to prevent breathing, affect gas exchange, and directly lead to asphyxia death caused by local environment hypoxia.
During the process of suffocating, due to force on the hands, it often leads to subcutaneous bleeding on the face, crooked mouth and nose, or flattened. At the same time, the mouth, lips and oral mucosa may be accompanied by contusion and bleeding.
suffocation
suffocation is also a type of asphyxiation death. It is generally an accidental entry into an hypoxia environment and forced into a narrow space.
The most common former is carbon monoxide poisoning, while the latter is often imprisoned or buried alive. Generally speaking, most suffocation is accidental. In an oxygen-deprived environment, it occurs faster and there will be no obvious suffocation on the surface of the body and internal organs.
choking to death
This is easy to understand. Unexpected swallowing of foreign objects leads to blockage of the trachea, which directly leads to asphyxiation death that cannot be performed in gas exchange.
The best way to save lives is Heimlikfa, which is already mastered by most people.
Compressing the chest and abdomen and suffocating death
This should be the main cause of death in the Korean Halloween stampede accident.
As the name suggests, compresses the chest and abdomen, which means that the chest and abdomen are subjected to strong compression, causing the chest and diaphragm to be unable to perform breathing exercises. can test it yourself. Will the chest and abdomen expand and contract with each breath? This is the breathing movement of the human body.
When squeezed, this expansion and contraction cannot be completed due to space limitations. Due to the continuous exertion of external pressure, when exhaling, the chest cavity is in a state of contraction, and the external pressure will be further compressed. And if you take a breath and hold it in your breath or hold it in your breath, you may take a breath for longer.
An adult's chest and abdomen are under pressure of 40-50kg. If it is stronger, it can lead to death if it bears 80-100kg.
The pain of asphyxiation death is much greater than that of the previous three, because after being subjected to external pressure, internal organs will also experience blood stasis or bleeding. Once bleeding symptoms appear, it will be extremely difficult to rescue. This has not yet taken into account the situation of the broken ribs after being squeezed, or even the ribs pierce the internal organs. There is no reliable first aid in a short period of time, and there is no chance of survival. According to reports from South Korean media, the emergency vehicle arrived at the scene and first aid was performed through cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but the rescued person had already had bleeding in his mouth, and it was judged that it was caused by internal organ bleeding.
After death, the characteristics are bleeding from the conjunctiva of the eyeball eyelids, cyanosis of the lips, intradermal and subcutaneous bleeding in the chest or back, partial epidermal peeling, cyanosis at the ends of the limbs, extensive point-like bleeding spots on the surface of the heart and lungs, large-area contusion bleeding in the lungs, and even internal organ contusion.
Asphyxia death ranges from 1-6 minutes, and is generally divided into acute and subacute. It depends on the physical fitness and tolerance of each person, and the duration is also very different.
From the beginning to the short six minutes of oppression, the emergency response was simply unable to keep up. In these few minutes, it was very painful and very long and desperate for the deceased. This is a man-made disaster, with no security measures, and a large number of people gathered. First, , the new crown will cause wider infection, and second, when such a serious stampede accident occurs, it is impossible to rescue, and the person who is pressed to the bottom can only wait to die.
