What happens to the brain stem when being strangled?

When strangled, the brain stem can be adversely affected due to a lack of oxygen (hypoxia) and blood flow (ischemia). The brain stem controls vital functions such as respiration, heart rate, and consciousness; therefore, strangulation can lead to loss of these functions, resulting in unconsciousness or death if the pressure is not relieved quickly. Prolonged strangulation can cause permanent brain damage or fatal outcomes due to the critical role the brain stem plays in maintaining life.
