In small children or infants, a foreign body obstruction of the airway should be suspected if there is a sudden onset of <u>respiratory distress</u>

Signs of FBAO include a sudden onset of respiratory distress with coughing, gagging, stridor, or wheezing.

<h3>What is Foreign body airway obstruction(FBAO)?</h3>

Foreign object airway obstruction: Partial or complete obstruction of the airway to the lungs by a foreign object (food, beads, toys, etc.). Shortness of breath episodes can occur suddenly with a  cough. Restlessness is common in the early stages of airway obstruction. Symptoms of shortness of breath include difficult and ineffective breathing (apnea) until the patient stops breathing. Loss of consciousness occurs if the obstruction is not removed.

Severe or complete foreign-body airway obstruction can kill the victim in minutes if he doesn't get appropriate treatment. The primary technique to clear an obstruction in a conscious adult is administration of abdominal thrusts—the Heimlich maneuver.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The previous sentence is false.

Explanation:

The tricuspid valve is between the right atrium and right ventricle. Also,The valve which is under the most pressure to block blacflow of blood during ventricular systole is the mitral valve. Mitral valve is the one which is located between the left atrium and left ventricle.

The heart works with two processes: diastole and systole. Systole occurs when the heart contract himself to expulse blood to the vessels, and when the heart relaxes while it fulfills of blood is called diastole.  During the systole process the tricuspid valve needs to be closed to allow the increase of pressures inside the heart cameras and then allow the expulse of blood. But, during diastole, tricuspid valve needs to be open to allow the correct filling of right side of the heart.
