Gender Aspects of Postaphyxia Conditions

Abstract

The materials of forensic medical examinations on post-psychiatric cases conducted in three regions of the country in 2017-2020 were analyzed. They accounted for 0.31% of all live examinations. 42.5% of the victims were women and they were mainly between the ages of 19-39. Women used a scarf made of a softer material than men. Cases of unconsciousness were more common in women, but the proportion of those who lost consciousness for a longer period of time was greater in men. At present, no significant differences in the duration of asphyxia, seizures, subconjunctival ecchymoses, observation of amnesia and the development of deep coma were observed in members of different sexes.
