In this given situation, we should stand behind him and administer abdominal thrusts.

<h3>Which part of the body should abdominal thrusts be administered?</h3>

Place the fist's thumb side against the person's stomach, just above the belly button and below the ribs. The muscle of the diaphragm can be felt. With the other hand over the fist, make a quick, powerful upward thrust into this muscle. Keep performing abdominal thrusts until the thing exits.

In order to remove things from the throat, the Heimlich maneuver employs abdominal thrusts. The diaphragm is a muscle that lies beneath the lungs. To assist the lungs in exhaling air, this muscle contracts. The Heimlich maneuver works by creating an artificial cough.

Which person can safely receive a life influenza vaccine
Anna [14]

People who can get the flu shot:

Different flu shots are approved for people of different ages. Everyone should get a vaccine that is appropriate for their age.

There are inactivated influenza vaccines (IIV) that are approved for people as young as 6 months of age.

Some vaccines are only approved for adults. For example, the recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV) is approved for people aged 18 years and older, and the adjuvanted and high-dose inactivated vaccines are approved for people aged 65 years and older.

Pregnant women and people with certain chronic health conditions can get a flu shot.

Most people with egg allergy can get a flu shot.

People who SHOULD NOT get the flu shot:

Children younger than 6 months of age are too young to get a flu shot.

People with severe, life-threatening allergies to flu vaccine or any ingredient in the vaccine. This might include gelatin, antibiotics, or other ingredients. See Special Considerations Regarding Egg Allergy for more information about egg allergies and flu vaccine

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The answer is B: left and right main bronchi.

Explanation:

The air enters the lungs through the nose and mouth, initially passing through the pharynx, from there the air passes through the epiglottis to reach the larynx (where the vocal cords meet); then continue to the trachea, which is divided into 2 tubes in its lower part, called right and left bronchial (primary bronchi). It ends up in even smaller tubes called bronchioles, as thin as a hair and finally ending, in the alveoli, where the gas exchange occurs.
