Asphyxia
Definition:
(n.) Alt. of Asphyxy
Example Sentences:

(5) Although true in asphyxia, breathing activates lung mechanoreceptors which reduce vagal outflow and apparently, in humans, abolishes sympathetic vasomotor activity (SNA).
(6) Similar responses were seen during asphyxia plus isoflurane-oxygen.
(7) Sixteen newborn infants with severe asphyxia were prospectively studied for evidence of secondary myocardial damage and, in that case, their clinical findings.
(8) Since some of these patients closely resembled cases of idiopathic torsion dystonia, the prior occurrence of asphyxia should be used as a criterion of exclusion for that diagnosis.
