Answer: A tracheostomy or called a stoma

Explanation:A tracheostomy is commonly referred to as a stoma. A tracheostomy is a medical procedure that either gives temporary or permanent opening in the neck in order to place a tube into a person's windpipe. This allows air to enter the lungs when it is not able to enter other ways. A tracheostomy is performed for several reasons, all involving someone not able to take in air, done during an emergency, when the airway is blocked. This allows air to enter the lungs. Breathing is then done through the tube, bypassing the mouth, nose, and throat.  This is the name for the hole in the neck that the tube passes through.

Without understanding of surface anatomy of the neck you could cause someone to bleed-out. Risks specific to a tracheostomy Include:

damage to the thyroid gland in the neck

erosion of the trachea, which is rare

lung collapse

scar tissue in the trachea

Vitek1552 [10]

The available options are:

a) Push-up plus off a wall → shoulder IR/ER → seated DB press

b) Shoulder IR/ER → push-up plus → seated DB press

c) Shoulder IR/ER → seated DB press → push-up plus

d) High-rep bench press → shoulder IR/ER → abdominal crunch

Answer:

A. Push-up plus off a wall -> shoulder IR/ER -> seated DB press

Explanation:

A push-up plus off a wall is an example of a closed chain exercise as the arm is fixated to a stationary surface.

It also make your shoulder blades to move freely, making serratus anterior stronger, a vital muscle that keeps scapula stable and helps it rotate upward. This in turn reduces shoulder impingement when push-ups plus off a wall is done.

Shoulder IR/ER also helps to correct the imbalance in the rotator muscles of the shoulder.

Also, seated DB press strengthens all muscles of the shoulder in a functional way.
