"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".

Mumz [18]

Answer:

D. vasectomy

Explanation:

Although it could be reversed, a vasectomy is generally considered a permanent method of birth control, and it's very safe long term, with very little risk of failing.

A. Condom: is not a permanent method of birth control, as you have to remind to use it every time... and the condom itself might fail (burst, slip, and so on)

B. Outercourse: even if the guy pulls out before total ejaculation, some drops may have leaked before the exit and cause a pregnancy.

C. Implant, it's usually a temporary implement and it has to be renewed or changed after a certain period of time.
