“…Research on hypoxic/anoxic brain injury associated with strangulation in IPV is growing, and evidence from past work in cardiac arrest, non-fatal drowning, and sleep apnea indicate that anoxic/hypoxic injuries are associated with impaired memory, processing speed, attention, as well as executive dysfunction (Anderson & Arciniegas, 2010;Bichard, Byrne, Saville, & Coetzer, 2020;Caine & Watson, 2000;Monahan, Purushotham, & Biegon, 2019;Peskine, Rosso, Picq, Caron, & Pradat-Diehl, 2010;Wright, Kirwan, Gale, Levan, & Hopkins, 2017). In addition, studies of self-reported symptoms after strangulation show a high frequency of neurological symptoms such as dizziness, loss of consciousness, loss of sensation, and memory problems (Smith, Mills, & Taliaferro, 2001;Wilbur et al, 2001), with some evidence that the frequency of symptoms increases with the instances of strangulation (Smith et al, 2001).…”
