In small children or infants, a foreign body obstruction of the airway should be suspected if there is a sudden onset of:_____.
mario62 [17]

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.

Drugs to treat systemic fungal infections can be toxic to the host and are not used indiscriminately. Which are factors consider
AnnyKZ [126]

Factors considered before an antifungal is prescribed to treat systemic fungal infections are:

  • Checking previous allergic conditions which can affect the treatment.
  • Possible side-effects of the drug.
  • Can antifungal medicine may interact with other medicines a patient is taking.
  • Checking pregnancy conditions because they may affect the fetus or breastfeeding.

Systemic fungal infections are defined as invasive fungal infections which originate at a particular place in the body but have the ability to spread to other parts as well. Examples are aspergillosis and other mold infections as a result of inhalation; candidaemia as a result of infected lines or leakage from the gastrointestinal tract.

Improper medication for systemic fungal infections can lead to Infusion-related toxicity, Nephrotoxicity, including hypokalemia, liver function abnormalities, skin rash, visual disturbances, etc.
