The sound is called a stridor (high pitched wheezing). See related link.
The answer is rhonchus or rhonchi, which is loud rumbling sounds heard on auscultation (during inhalation) of bronchi obstructed by sputum.
A partially blocked airway may produce a high-pitched sound called a STRIDOR.
it's called COPD meaning chronic obstructed pulminary disease . and believe me it is not fun

A: Is the Airway obstructed?B: Is the victim Breathing?C: Does the victim have Circulation (a pulse)?

The term for forming an opening in the trachea is "tracheostomy." This surgical procedure involves creating an incision in the trachea to establish an airway, often used in situations where the normal breathing pathway is obstructed or compromised. It allows for direct access to the airway and can facilitate breathing in patients with severe respiratory issues.
When the airway (wind pipe) is obstructed, such as choking on an object or piece of food. This can also occur when a baby is born and the airway is plugged with mucous.
Airway resistance refers to the obstruction or restriction of airflow in the respiratory passages. Increased airway resistance makes it harder for air to flow in and out of the lungs, requiring more effort and energy during breathing. This results in an increased work of breathing as the respiratory muscles have to work harder to overcome the resistance and maintain adequate ventilation.
Airway; open the airway is tip the head and check for breathing.
Life-saving priorities, often referred to as the ABCs of emergency care, focus on Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. To assess these, first ensure the airway is clear and not obstructed; if necessary, perform maneuvers like the head-tilt-chin-lift. Next, check for effective breathing by looking for chest rise or listening for breath sounds. Finally, assess circulation by checking for a pulse and observing skin color and temperature, ensuring adequate blood flow is maintained.
