"During a strangulation assault, the pressure applied to the neck impedes oxygen transport by preventing blood flow to and from the brain. The trachea can also be restricted, making breathing difficult or impossible. The combination can quickly cause asphyxia and unconsciousness, which can lead to brain injury even without loss of consciousness or those lasting mere seconds. " Hirsch Handmaker, MD
