Death due to asphyxia are referred to as brain anoxia, may contribute to the restriction of cerebral blood flow, and there are many physical and biochemical changes. Brain asphyxia can lead to damage to respiratory center and patient recovery depends upon the recovery of respiratory center. Please keep us posted for any further queries. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
