Fulladási

Fulladási is a Hungarian term that translates to "suffocation" or "strangulation" in English. It refers to the process of being deprived of oxygen, leading to a loss of consciousness and potentially death. This can occur through various means, including mechanical obstruction of the airway, compression of the chest preventing breathing, or drowning.

In a medical context, fulladási can describe a range of conditions. For instance, choking on food or a foreign object can lead to suffocation. Similarly, an asthma attack or a severe allergic reaction can cause the airways to swell and constrict, resulting in a feeling of suffocation. Drowning, where the lungs fill with water, is another common cause of fulladási.

Legal definitions of fulladási often focus on the criminal act of causing another person's death through suffocation or strangulation. This can involve manual strangulation, using ligatures, or any action that intentionally deprives someone of air. The severity and intent behind such actions are crucial in determining legal culpability.

In everyday language, the term might be used to describe a situation where someone feels overwhelmed or unable to breathe due to intense emotional distress or a physically constricting environment, though this is a metaphorical use rather than a literal medical or legal one. Understanding the context is key to interpreting the meaning of fulladási.
