Choking is really interesting in that it's one of the few life-threatening situations that, if treated properly, you can walk away from without any further medical care. One moment you're about to die, the next moment you're fine to carry on with your day.
I'm not sure how an effective study of choking treatments would be developed. How do you take into account all the successful treatments that go unreported?
- sz4kerto 12y agoThere are many examples of this problem. SIDS [1] is similar: there's no way for experimenting, it's extremely difficult to find out the circumstances when something bad happens; and if you can somehow record them, then it's extremely difficult to find out what's relevant and what's not.
