Question
Airway obstruction caused by all of the following exceptQuestion 2Answera.depression of cardiac contractilityb.respiratory arrest (spasm).c.flaccid tongued.pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents
Solution
The answer is a. depression of cardiac contractility. This condition does not directly cause airway obstruction. It affects the heart's ability to pump blood effectively, but it does not obstruct the airway. On the other hand, respiratory arrest (spasm), a flaccid tongue, and pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents can all potentially obstruct the airway.
