This hole in my neck was from performing a tracheotomy that was installed to help me breathe days after brain surgery. It was needed to protect my airway until I was able to breath on my own. The tracheotomy tube has been removed, leaving a small scar

Abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver, is a first aid procedure used to treat upper airway obstructions (or choking) by foreign objects. It was devised by medical researcher Henry Heimlich, who used it for the first time when he was 96.

Beauty as a measure of health?

'The only way you can get

1) all the teeth to fit in the mouth

2) the tongue in the mouth (and not in the throat)

3) and an airway that doesn't collapse at night

is to create a really good looking face.'

An oropharyngeal airway is used to maintain or open a patient's airway. It does this by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis, which could prevent the person from breathing.
