Determinación de la etiología en la ahorcadura, perspectivas actuales en el ecuador

Abstract

Introduction: The asphyxiation produced by external action mechanisms, particularly hanging, can be suicidal, accidental or homicidal in nature, being necessary to assess differences and similarities for diagnostic purposes. Objective: To determine the etiology of the asphyxiation produced by external action mechanisms such as hanging, through the systematic analysis of scientific articles oriented towards current perspectives, identifying the obvious body signs in suicide, homicide or accidental to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Method: It is a systematic review of scientific articles, in databases such as: Scielo, PUBMED, and, DIALNET. Conclusion: The clinical clinical signs in the hanging are differential that turn as far as the groove that establishes; which is unique, with a shriveled appearance that arises in the oblique direction and interrupted in the direction of the knot, while the suspended corpse position that is customary in the type of homicides when a person chooses to place the individual in said position already perpetuated the fact.
