Explanation:

Question 142

The Heimlich Maneuver is a well - known emergency procedure used to dislodge objects from the trachea or throat. Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure to create an opening in the trachea for a tube, usually for long - term airway management. Endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure using a camera - equipped tube. The Schick Test is for determining susceptibility to diphtheria.

The prefix "Tracheo -" refers to the trachea (windpipe). "Phreno -" relates to the diaphragm. "Pneumo -" is associated with the lungs or air. "Stetho -" pertains to the chest.

The prefix "Hyper -" means above or excessive. "Tension" in medical terms often refers to pressure. So, hypertension means blood pressure that is above normal. "To close tightly" is not related. A rapid heart rate is not the direct meaning. Blood pressure below normal is hypotension.

Answer:

Heimlich Maneuver
