Suffocation is a form of asphyxia caused by deprivation of oxygen due to either a lack of oxygen in the environment or obstruction of the air passages, preventing adequate breathing. It can result from being trapped in an enclosed space with little air or having something cover the nose and mouth, blocking the intake of oxygen. Suffocation will quickly lead to unconsciousness and death if not addressed promptly by removing the cause and restoring normal breathing.
