“…This is consistent with the observations by Boyd and colleagues from western Canada, reporting that 13% of the asphyxia victims who underwent autopsy had major trauma, defined as an injury with severity score greater than 15 [11]. In mentioned study only 48% of victims for whom trauma was the primary cause of death had been completely buried.…”

“…górskiego jeziora lub rzeki. Najczęstszą przyczyną śmierci wśród ofiar lawin śnieżnych jest asfiksja (27-89%), rzadziej uraz mechaniczny (13-40%), a najrzadziej -hipotermia (7-11%) [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Przy braku obrażeń ciała rozpoznanie nieurazowych przyczyn śmierci (w tym asfiksji) wyłącznie na podstawie wyników autopsji bywa bardzo trudne, a wręcz niemożliwe.…”

“…The severity of avalanche injury is generally based on several factors: depth of burial, length of burial, airway obstruction, and concurrent trauma. [82][83][84] Avalanche rescue and resuscitation have been advanced by an improved understanding of snow burial physiology, including cooling, afterdrop, and the role of exhaled carbon dioxide. [85,86] Technologic advances designed to mitigate the risk of avalanche-associated injury and death include exhaled air diversion devices, flotation devices, and transceivers.…”
