Many of the categorizations in this page are uneven. For example, Carbon Monoxide inhalation should be grouped with "exposure to chemicals...". In addition, I don't think that perinatal asphix. deserves its own headline, and should be put on the bullet point list.

Sensual Asphyxia,in the BDSM language,is the method when a people try to take total control over other trought the breath control.This practise is accepted in the BDSM lifestyle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.1.39.145 ( talk • contribs) 22:28, 19 December 2005
You may want to add anoxia, really hypoxia, through hypobaric conditions (as opposed to hyperbaric) such as altitude. Pilots can go unconcious on aircraft depressurisation as low as 20,000', although with practice and aclimatisation people climb to 26,000'+ and remain both conscious and active. Death will occur fairly quickly at 30,000'. Sorry no reliable detail on the exact altitudes. Some stuff under high altitude chamber. Ex nihil 07:10, 1 March 2006 (UTC) Also need to add carbon monoxide effect on haemoglobin oxygen displacement under chemical causes. Ex nihil 07:22, 1 March 2006 (UTC) See http://www.dtic.mil/ndia/2002training/wakayama3.pdf Ex nihil 07:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

It's been neglected to be mentioned that plastic bags are used in murder to suffocate. Could someone add more on this? Ollie the Magic Skater 02:24, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
something is wrong with the references, but as it uses Cite.php I am not sure how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. BadCRC 17:24, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Check number 3: "Physical obstruction of the flow of air to the lungs". Does the thing for drowning make sense? And second, should it even be on there? Drowning is when fluid builds in the lungs. Different than asphyxia. Can someone second this for me? J.T. 01:23, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
It'd be thoughtful if someone changes the picture to the right(which currently contains a suffocated woman in a bikini swimsuit) to another containing a man, because the current one is offensive for us, Muslims, as it is forbidden to see such parts of woman's body(except for our wives) check the following link for details Women_in_Muslim_societies#Clothing. unfortunatly, I don't have any pictures of a man suffocating, If I had I would have changed it myself.
Is the picture necessary at all ? The text makes it clear what asphyxia is. I don't like the image.
...
I don't think so. The opening sentence makes the topic clear - "Asphyxia is a condition of severely deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from being unable to breathe normally".
...
The picture should go.
Though I don't really care about seeing dead people, I agree it doesn't really add much to the article. Since no one has voiced an opinion otherwise, I removed it. Feel free to debate further if you disagree! InvictaHOG 02:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Excellent. Thank you all!
Where are the health effects? Is this page just a list of ways to suffocate yourself? Fresheneesz 21:27, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
One text talks about this term, but it is not used in practise amongst crowd researchers. I'm removing it for now. -- cmh T C 00:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
While I am unaware of the use of the term 'asphyxia' to refer to plants, I do know that plants can suffocate. Certainly there should be some mention of plant and other non-animal organisms on this page. Perhaps an expert could add some information about it. -- Chopin-Ate-Liszt!

Currently Burked redirects to Asphyxia#Smothering, and this article already has 3 disambig and "see also" links at the top, would it be overkill to somehow add a link to the CSI episode, too? - 68.146.190.58 ( talk) 07:46, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
most people die in house fires from asphyxia and not a word mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.186.242.58 ( talk) 17:58, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
There is a list, but the article doesn't even indicate what is being listed. It looks like a list of possible causes of asphyxia to me, but this should be made clear. Much noise ( talk) 03:12, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
This example had me scratching my head. Not knowing what was being referred to or why anyone would be inside one made it an incomprehensible section for me. If others agree, the article would be better without it. EdX20 ( talk) 21:52, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Then it's not just asphyxiation, it's suffocation right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.74.254.99 ( talk) 22:47, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Just came across this article while editing something unrelated, but I do notice that there are no "Symptoms" or "Treatment" sections. Obviously, Wikipedia is not a medical dictionary nor a substitute for an actual doctor, but many other articles about similar medical conditions do seem to have these sections. At the very least, it would seem appropriate to link to relevant sections at Hypoxia (medical) and other such articles. Right now, the article consists mainly of a lead and a "Causes" section, with three subsections about common causes. -- 2ReinreB2 ( talk) 22:00, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Ondine's Curse has a specific definition on this page of requiring conscious breathing, but I've been unable to find anything that suggests it's accurate. Materials I've found typically describe it as presenting with sleep apnea, poor ventilation, poor response of discomfort from carbon dioxide build-up and some effects associated with long-term hypoxia if not death in infancy. Materials do vary some, but it is a rare condition and while failure of the autonomic nervous system is mentioned, there's nothing about conscious breathing and the eMedicine source specifically states this is not the case (even if this point is made in a hyper-technical statement). This is from the page for Ondine's Curse and more specifically from the Classifications and External Resources. TheAdmiral ( talk) 17:01, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Planning to move material related to knee on belly, the Garner, and Floyd cases from Positional asphyxia the Mechanical Asphyxiation Article section of this page. Please see the talk page of Positional asphyxia. There have not been any objections there. Much of the material on Positional Asphyxia is actually mechanical asphyxia. Positional Asphyxia only relates to asphyxia caused by the position someone is placed in and does not assume that anything or anyone is mechanically preventing breathing. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this edit! Thehittite ( talk) 21:24, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
"Asphyxia or asphyxiation is a condition of deficient supply of oxygen to the body that arises from abnormal breathing. An example of asphyxia is choking." ??? What does breathing have to do with it?? This makes it sound like you asphyxiate because you're breathing wrong. Why make it complicated? Just say it's a lack of oxygen...
