Understanding the intricacies of your respiratory system is paramount to safeguarding against choking incidents. Choking, a terrifying and potentially life-threatening situation, occurs when the airway becomes obstructed, impeding the passage of air to the lungs. However, armed with knowledge about how the respiratory system functions, along with proactive measures such as learning anti choke techniques, individuals can empower themselves to prevent and respond effectively to such emergencies. Let’s delve into the workings of the respiratory system and explore essential anti choke strategies to ensure respiratory health and safety.
Respiratory System
Our respiratory system is very delicate. When we are eating, food usually goes only to the Pharynx. But in certain situations, the food may go into the Trachea if you are trying to talk or cough while eating.
Why Some Groups Are More Likely To Choke
Choking may or may not happen to anyone. However, the risks are higher among the following groups of people:
- With swallowing difficulties
- With weak respiratory muscles
- With poor lung ventilation
What to do If Choking Alone？
- Coughing continuously until the item causing choking is expelled
- Performing the Heimlich maneuver on yourself
- Use Choking Rescue Device with auto triggering
