“…14 In Osaka Prefecture, it was reported that 24.5% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests from choking on rice cake occurred during the first 3 days of the New Year. 8 A high incidence of choking among older people is consistent with results of studies conducted in the United States, 15 , 16 the United Kingdom, 17 Australia, 18 and Taiwan. 19 However, seasonal variations, such as Japan’s high frequency of deaths in January, were not observed in the United Kingdom study, 17 possibly attributable to the Japanese tradition of eating rice cake to celebrate the New Year.…”

Background With increasing age globally, more people may become vulnerable to food choking. We investigated the nationwide epidemiology of food choking deaths in Japan. Methods Using Japanese Vital Statistics death data between 2006 and 2016, we identified food choking deaths based on the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases code W79 (Inhalation and ingestion of food causing obstruction of respiratory tract) as a primary diagnosis. We assessed the demographics of people with food choking deaths; temporal trends of food choking deaths by the year (overall and by age group), the day of year; and prefecture variations. Results Overall, 52,366 people experienced food choking deaths (median age, 82 years, 53% were male, and 57% occurred at home). The highest numbers occurred January 1–3, and were lowest in June. Despite a stable total number of cases at around 4,000 yearly, from 2006 to 2016 the incidence proportion declined from 16.2 to 12.1 per 100,000 population among people aged 75–84 years. Among people ≥85 years, the incidence proportion peaked at 53.5 in 2008 and decreased to 43.6 in 2016. The number of food choking deaths varied by prefecture. Conclusions There are temporal and regional variations of food choking deaths in Japan, possibly due to the consumption of Japanese rice cake (mochi), particularly over the New Year’s holiday.

“…Babies during the Covid-19 Pandemic had an impact on choking management skills in infants. The baby was associated with increased risk of choking and the highest frequency of choking on finger foods occurred in those who were given finger foods the least often [15][16][17] . This shows that the education provided can be used as a preventive in management efforts if choking occurs in infants 18,19 .…”

Many mothers with babies who do not give exclusive breastfeeding and do not understand prevention efforts when the baby is choking, so that mothers need to understand lactation management to optimize the purpose of exclusive breastfeeding, and need to equip themselves in preventive management when the baby is choking. The research objective was to determine the effectiveness of lactation management education and management of choking in mothers with babies in East Java Indonesia.The research method was a pre-experimental pretest-posttest design. The population was all mothers with babies in Kediri City East Java Indonesia. The sample consisted of 30 respondents using the incidental sampling technique. The independent variables were lactation management education and the choking in babies. The dependent variable was Knowledge and Skills. The research instrument used a questionnaire to use google form and Youtube. Data were collected and statistical tests were performed using the Wilcoxon test with α <0.05.The results showed that most respondents were infants aged 11-15 months (40%), maternal age was 23 years old (30%), had two babies (60%), body weight 10-11 Kg (30%), complete immunization (90%), but 10% of infants are not immunized. All infant respondents receive exclusive breastfeeding and also regularly attend Posyandu. The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test on the knowledge variable obtained a Z value of -4.8 (> 1.96) with a P-value = 0.000 and the choking treatment variable with a Z value of -4.6 (> 1.96) with a P-value = 0.000 which means there is a significant effect of Audio-Visual Education on Lactation Management and Choking in Mothers with Babies during the Covid-19 Pandemic on the knowledge and improvement of choking management skills in respondents.Effective education is provided to increase knowledge and skills in the management of choking in infants. Prevention is more important in reducing the morbidity of cases related to nutrition and the incidence of choking in infants.

“…Causes of FBAO FBAO usually occurs while the casualty is eating or drinking and can be associated with muscle, neurological or cerebral impairment. 6 Most deaths from choking are caused by food (87%); while small objects, a particular cause in children, are the cause of 13% of choking related deaths. 1 People at increased risk of FBAO include those with altered level of consciousness, drug and/or alcohol intoxication, neurological impairment with reduced swallowing and cough reflexes (for example, stroke, Parkinson's disease), respiratory disease, mental impairment, dementia, poor dentition, and the elderly.…”

“…5 In London alone, there are close to 2,000 FBAO episodes each year of significant severity requiring the need to call 999 for an ambulance. 6 In adults, the incidence of FBAO increases with age. 7 Deaths from FBAO are more common in older people with almost 30% of deaths associated with FBAO occurring in the 80 years and over age group.…”
