"To completely close off the trachea , three times as much pressure (33 lbs.) is required. If strangulation persists, brain death will occur in 4 to 5 minutes.

Choking causes acquired brain injuries by depriving the brain of oxygen. There are a number of situations that can lead to choking and an ABI. These include: Food becoming lodged in the throat, etc.

Common Causes of Choking-

  • eating or drinking too quickly.
  • swallowing food before it has been sufficiently chewed.
  • swallowing small bones or objects.
  • inhaling small objects.

For food that is stuck in the throat or the food-pipe, you can try drinking some water to see if it can move down. However, if it is a bone that is stuck in the throat, do not attempt to remove it by yourself".

Grief can have a negative impact on immune system functioning.<br> 1) True<br> 2) False
horsena [70]

Answer:

True

<h2>How does grief affect your health?</h2>

You are more prone to getting the flu and colds while you are mourning because your immune system is compromised. But more than that, the strain of grieving can cause shingles for some people and severe physical problems for others. Many people overlook things because they have been caring for a dying spouse for months or years while neglecting their own medical checkups.

Clinical studies have shown that a shattered heart can cause death.
