An example would be a fighter's arm breaking in an armbar, or a fighter going unconscious in a rear naked choke. In both cases the fighter is unable to tap out, and safely continue the fight. Such a match outcome may be called a technical submission or a technical knockout (TKO) depending on the rules of the match.

These three issues are paramount in any treatment, in that the loss (or loss of control of) any one of these items will rapidly lead to the patient's death.
The choking game, or fainting game, also sometimes referred to as Space Monkeys, [1] [2] is the act of intentionally cutting off oxygen to the brain with the goal of inducing temporary loss of consciousness and euphoria.
To assist a larger person, more force may be needed. [18] The Mayo Clinic recommends the same placement of fist and hand, with upward thrusts as if the rescuer is attempting to lift the victim. [2] If the victim cannot receive pressure on the abdomen (for example, in case of pregnancy or excessive obesity), chest thrusts are advised. [19]
