Cause of choking: Choking in infants and small children is caused by small foreign object blocking one of the airways. If children play with objects in their mouth, there is an increased risk that the object will get into trachea or airways accidentally. Choking is also caused by crushing of the trachea. It is also caused by obstruction of airways which can lead to obstructive sleep apnea. Some infections can also cause swelling of the airways or produce excessive secretions.
Choking - unconscious adult or child over 1 year. Choking is when someone cannot breathe because food, a toy, or other object is blocking the throat or windpipe (airway). A choking person's airway may be blocked so that not enough oxygen reaches the lungs. Without oxygen, brain damage can occur in as little as 4 to 6 minutes. Rapid first aid for choking can save a person's life. This article discusses choking in adults or children over age 1 who have lost alertness (are unconscious).
