TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - A review of 300 attempted strangulation cases Part II: clinical evaluation of the surviving victim JO - Journal of emergency medicine A1 - McClane, George E. A1 - Strack, Gael B. A1 - Hawley, D. SP - 311 EP - 315 VL - 21 IS - 3 N2 - Medical literature describing victims who survive strangulation is scant. The majority of articles on strangulation are found in the forensic literature, describing the post-mortem findings on autopsy. This article presents a suggested protocol for the evaluation and treatment of the surviving victim of strangulation, based upon a review of the available literature. It also corroborates the findings of Strack et al., in the study by the San Diego City Attorney's Office, described in Part I of this series.
