Hanging is a common method to attempt suicide, which is highly lethal and results in immediate death. Near-hanging refers to those who survive a hanging injury and are able to reach a hospital. Only a few survive such episodes if they are promptly rescued, but they usually die later, which is called delayed death by hanging. Post-obstructive pulmonary oedema is a fatal complication that occurs after the removal of severe upper respiratory tract obstruction. Post-obstructive pulmonary oedema developing in delayed hanging death is not widely reported in the literature. Herein, we describe a case of post-obstructive pulmonary oedema in a 16-year-old girl with a history of attempted suicide by hanging.
缢吊是一种常见的自杀方式，致死率很高，可导致即刻死亡。近缢吊是指那些缢吊受伤后存活并能被送至医院的人。如果能及时抢救，只有少数人能挺过此类情况，但他们通常会在之后死亡，这被称为缢吊延迟死亡。梗阻后肺水肿是一种在解除严重上呼吸道梗阻后发生的致命并发症。延迟缢吊死亡后发生梗阻后肺水肿在文献中报道较少。在此，我们描述一例有缢吊自杀未遂史的16岁女孩发生梗阻后肺水肿的病例。
