[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least your nanny choked on a grape. My ex nanny choked on …. WATER. Fortunately I was there to help her. [/quote] I remember hearing just how deadly choking on water can be especially for the elderly. I’m guessing because there isn’t anything to actually dislodge?[/quote] You can't choke on liquids. You can aspirate it into the lungs which can lead to aspiration pneumonia, so that's why the elderly and infirm are sometimes given thickened liquids.[/quote] I don’t know what was happening to my ex nanny. She was drinking water, then suddenly she started gasping and couldn’t breath. I did the heimlech and then she recovered. So if it wasn’t choking what was it? [/quote] Idk but not choking. When choking by definition you can’t gasp and it’s basically silent. Water probably just went down the wrong pipe[/quote]
