Laryngospasm is Most Likely to Cause

Question

Laryngospasm is most likely to cause
A) emphysema.
B) pneumothorax.
C) acute respiratory obstruction.
D) asthma.

Accepted Answer

Laryngospasm is a sudden, involuntary closure of the vocal cords which can lead to acute respiratory obstruction and difficulty breathing. Emphysema and asthma are conditions that cause chronic respiratory problems, and pneumothorax is a condition where air is trapped in the space between the lung and chest wall, but none of these are directly caused by laryngospasm.
