Full transcript
- 0:00hello
- 0:01and welcome to dr paul on strangulation
- 0:05in order to understand what happens in
- 0:08strangulation we first have to look at
- 0:12the way blood moves about the head
- 0:15there we have this
- 0:18carotid arteries marked ca taking blood
- 0:21into the head
- 0:22the vertebral arteries mark va taking
- 0:25blood into the head and the jugular vein
- 0:28in blue
- 0:30marked jv taking blood out of the head
- 0:34now when we compress it
- 0:37the jugular vein
- 0:39is closed
- 0:41very readily
- 0:43at 5.5 psi that's all it takes to close
- 0:46it
- 0:47the carotid artery take 11.1 psi quite a
- 0:51bit higher and the vertebral artery
- 0:53takes 66 psi to close
- 0:57so you need pavarotti standing on your
- 0:59neck to close them
- 1:01so
- 1:03blood can continue into the head but
- 1:05can't get out of the head so the head
- 1:08becomes over pressured
- 1:10death occurs due to cardiovascular
- 1:13congestion
- 1:15very important this a lot of people
- 1:17think deaths due to suffocation
- 1:20but cutting off the air but the trachea
- 1:23takes 33 psi to close it so again you
- 1:27need pavarotti
- 1:30now
- 1:33high pressure in the head causes
- 1:35capillaries to rupture
- 1:37particularly in the soft tissue around
- 1:40the eyes and in the eyes themselves
- 1:43this
- 1:44is called peticile hemorrhaging
- 1:47there you can see the little hemorrhages
- 1:50around the eyes tiny pin pricked size
- 1:52hemorrhages in red
- 1:58now
- 1:59another sign
- 2:01of strangulation
- 2:04is fracture of the hyoid
- 2:07and the cricoid cartilage now there they
- 2:10are in the neck hyoid bone cricoid
- 2:13cartilage
- 2:15these are difficult to fracture except
- 2:17by strangulation
- 2:20so
- 2:21you've got two signs one particular
- 2:24hemorrhages the pathologist always looks
- 2:27in the eyes
- 2:29and then they dissect the neck to find
- 2:32if the hyoid and cricoid bones fractured
- 2:35that will be
- 2:37confirmation that the person was
- 2:40strangled
- 2:41okay
- 2:42goodbye
