Assault by drowning and submersion - what does this mean
Assault by drowning and submersion occurs when a person is forced or held underwater against their will, often resulting in anoxia (lack of oxygen) and potential drowning. this can lead to significant physical and psychological trauma, as well as potential long-term health effects.
What happens during the disease - assault by drowning and submersion
The pathogenesis of assault by drowning and submersion is complex and involves a combination of mechanical and physiological effects. mechanically, the lungs can fill with water, causing airway obstruction and leading to hypoxia and asphyxia. physiologically, the body goes into shock due to the sudden cold temperature and loss of blood pressure, leading to cardiac arrest. the lack of oxygen and the pressure of the water can also cause brain damage, leading to long-term neurological issues.
