A pulmonary agent, or choking agent, is a chemical weapon agent designed to impede a victim's ability to breathe. Such compounds operate by causing a build-up of fluids in the lungs, which then leads to asphyxiation. Exposure of the eyes and skin tends to be corrosive, causing blurred vision and severe deep burns.
Some anti-choking devices can also be used to solve choking. This procedure has modifications for infants (babies under 1 year-old) , for the people with problems in the belly as the pregnant or too much obese people , for the disabled victims in wheelchair , for the victims that lay on the bed but are unable to sit down , and for the victims ...
Henry Judah Heimlich (February 3, 1920 – December 17, 2016) was an American thoracic surgeon and medical researcher. He is widely credited for the discovery of the Heimlich maneuver, [2] a technique of abdominal thrusts for stopping choking, [3] first described in 1974. [4]
A chokehold, choke, stranglehold or, in Judo, shime-waza (Japanese: 絞技, lit. 'constriction technique') [1] is a general term for a grappling hold that critically reduces or prevents either air [2] or blood from passing through the neck of an opponent.
The thumb and index finger provide downward pressure on the mask while the remaining fingers maintain head tilt and jaw thrust. The free hand can then be used to provide ventilation via the bag. [21] For children, pediatric bags can be used. Pediatric bags have a valve that limits peak airway pressures to around 35–40 cm of water.
The following is a description of this technique using the right arm (the same can be done with the left arm, changing roles of the choking and securing arms): The attacker's right arm encircles the opponent's neck, with the opponent's trachea at the crook of the elbow. The attacker's right hand then grasps their own upper left arm/shoulder.
In sports, choking is the failure of a person, or persons, to act or behave as anticipated or expected. [1] This can occur in a game or tournament that they are strongly favoured to win, or in an instance where they have a large lead that they squander in the late stages of the event.
