- In car accidents resulting in entrapment in a car with carbon monoxide poisoning
- In any type of motor vehicle accident (including train accidents, bus accidents and forklift accidents), workplace accident or other traumatic event when crush injuries cut off a victim's airway or circulation to the brain
- In medical care situations, such as when emergency endotracheal intubation is delayed or improperly performed
- In connection with strokes, heart attacks and other medical emergencies
- In fires and explosions
- As a result of medication errors, overdoses, drug interactions and administration of medication that results in an allergic reaction.
- During labor and delivery when a baby's oxygen is cut off due to a breach delivery or any circumstance that causes the umbilical cord to be wrapped tightly around the neck of the baby.
