"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".

Komok [63]

Answer:

Elaborative rehearsal.

Explanation:

Memory may be defined as the ability of the brain to memorize the incident or any other information. Two types of memory are short term memory and long term memory.

The long term memory can be converted to the short term memory by multiple rehearsal and memorizing the things again and again. Jeremy must be using elaborative rehearsal to memorize the chapter and generate examples to create his own experience.

MrRa [10]
I believe that she has Oliguria. It is the medical term for a decreased output of urine. Aside from that, there are many potential causes and the two that we see her are dehydration and a urinary tract obstruction. She is decreasing her normal fluid intake. Your body can't replace the fluids that you're losing. When this happens your kidneys retain as much fluid as they can. As for urinary tract obstruction, she has increased her protein intake. A high-protein diet can inhibit your body from eliminating all the waste products of protein metabolism. This can cause a blockage in your kidneys. This explains why she has flank pain and a high fever.
