Resumo:
As ‘brincadeiras do desmaio’ são comportamentos de risco que têm se difundido rapidamente entre crianças e jovens, provocando dependência, acidentes e mesmo mortes, inclusive no Brasil. Estas atividades são realizadas para vivenciarem sensações eufóricas e fugazes, atraindo grande número de adeptos por meio de milhares de vídeos postados no YouTube. A problemática dos ‘jogos de asfixia’ é observada nas mídias digitais brasileiras, mas carece de estudos científicos. Por meio de revisão sistemática da literatura e de bibliografia complementar, este trabalho objetiva discorrer sobre os ‘jogos de asfixia’, alertando aos aspectos psicofisiológicos e comportamentais, aos riscos potenciais destas práticas, e também, apresentar dados epidemiológicos internacionais. Compartilhar essas informações no meio acadêmico é de extrema importância dada a necessidade de maiores conhecimentos sobre o tema, de realizar capacitação de profissionais e propor medidas preventivas que sensibilizem crianças e jovens ao perigo potencial dos desmaios voluntários. Sensibilizar igualmente os pais e professores a atentarem aos sinais decorrentes destas práticas. É também relevante a busca de apoio dos governantes para o controle da divulgação de vídeos incitativos.

Abstract:
The ‘choking game’ and other asphyxial behaviors have become a social phenomenon among children and adolescents. It can lead to dependence like drugs and has resulted in the deaths of children and young people worldwide, including Brazil. These apneal and asphyxial practices are ‘played’ to experience fleeting euphoric sensations like visual and auditory hallucinations and bodily synaesthesiahypoxia. These ‘games’ are risk behaviors that have become popular in Brazil, through the numerous videos posted on YouTube. Brazilian digital media reports asphyxial behaviors cases, however, there are no scientific studies about this problem. Our goal in this paper is to discuss these asphyxial behaviors based on the international literature, which focuses on psychophysiological aspects, behavioral and psychopathological aspects and international epidemiological data. In Brazil, there is an important need for more studies and intervention by government and philanthropic institutions in order to raise awareness among children of the potential danger of asphyxial behaviors. It is necessary to ban the disclosure of videos that encourage such games and to train qualified professionals in the dissemination of prevention work together with teachers and parents.
