Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Real or imminent airway interference is a general reason for intubation of the trachea. Life-threatening airway interference may happen when the foreign substance grows lodged in the airway; this is particularly common in infants and toddlers. Severe blunt or penetrating trauma to the cheek or cut may be accompanied by swelling and the extending hematoma, or loss to those larynx, trachea or bronchi. Airway interference is also common at people who get had smoke medication or burns within or near the airline or epiglottitis. Sustained generalized attack action and angioedema are additional common cases of life-threatening airway interference, which may be tracheal intubation to ensure the airway.
