anoxic brain damage

However, in various settings global ischemia is also relevant, e.g. in global anoxic brain damage due to cardiac arrest.

Restraint asphyxia is death or lost consciousness (to die later in a coma from anoxic brain damage), while being restrained in positions that cause asphyxia by facial compression, neck compression, or chest compression.

Partial remediation is more likely in cases with traumatic/vascular lesions, where more focal damage occurs, than in cases where the deficit arises out of anoxic brain damage, which typically results in more diffuse damage and multiple cognitive impairments.
