"It turns out his tongue base was obstructing the airway!"
Initially, I thought it was caused by food getting stuck in the trachea during eating, leading to suffocation.
This situation often occurs when the patient experiences consciousness disturbances, causing the pharyngeal muscle group to relax, which leads to the tongue base obstructing the airway.
The human tongue and epiglottis are connected to the jaw, so as Zhou Can did, pushing the jaw upward forces the tongue and epiglottis to rise and move away from the pharyngeal wall, allowing the patient's airway to clear.
With Zhou Can's assistance, the patient's airway cleared, the cyanosis on his face slowly faded, and he gradually returned to normal.
"Why did he lose consciousness?"
The patient is now in a state of complete loss of consciousness.
This is also the main reason for the tongue base to obstruct the airway.
