How often that happens in a competition, or other scenario, as the "victim" usually goes limp.jedishrfu said:I’ve heard that when someone is placed in a BJJ chokehold they will pass out and lose control of bodily functions meaning they will wet themselves suffering some embarrassment when waking up.
Could this be seen as a temporary death or just unconsciousness?256bits said:How often that happens in a competition, or other scenario, as the "victim" usually goes limp.
The Judo choke hold is to cut off the blood supply to the brain, rather than inhibit the air supply ( in which case the contestant is doing it wrong - one wants to immobilization to happen fairly quickly ).
Passing out from choking is caused by a lack of oxygen reaching the brain. When the airway is blocked, the body is unable to get the necessary oxygen to function properly, leading to loss of consciousness.
The time it takes for someone to pass out from choking varies and depends on factors such as the severity of the blockage, the individual's physical condition, and the type of choking (partial or complete). In most cases, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes.
Some common symptoms of passing out from choking include dizziness, confusion, loss of coordination, and eventually loss of consciousness. In severe cases, there may also be bluish skin color, difficulty breathing, and loss of pulse.
Yes, if the airway is completely blocked and the individual does not receive immediate help, passing out from choking can be fatal. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible in any choking emergency.
If someone is passing out from choking, it is important to act quickly. First, call for emergency medical assistance. Then, perform the Heimlich maneuver or back blows to try to dislodge the blockage. If the individual loses consciousness, perform CPR until help arrives.
