Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I mahue i te hunga mate pukupuku he toto i muri i te manawa ohorere o te taringa ki roto i ona ngutu. I te wā e whakarite ana te wahine 41-tau te pakeke mō tētahi rōpū ki te whakanui i te Tau Hou, ka tīmata ia ki te ngūngū. I āwangawanga ki te kino ake o tana mate huka, ā, ka pakaru i te hakari, ka toro atu ia ki roto i tana putea mō tana pūngāwerewere, e ai ki ngā tākuta e tuhituhi ana i roto i te pukapuka BMJ Case reports. Ko tana inhaler salbutamol kikorangi i tuwhera i roto i tana putea, a ka rongo ia i te "raru nui" i a ia e wiri ana. Ahakoa tēnei, i whakahawea ia ki te haruru, i te whakapono he mea na te hononga ngoikore i roto i te pūrere. Ko te wahine 41-tau-tau o Ahitereiria i whai mate hauora i te ahiahi o te Tau Hou i muri i te manawa o te taringa ki roto i ona huhu. E whakaatu ana te X-ray i te taringa i mau i roto i tana bronchus matau - te ara manawa e ahu atu ana ki nga ngunguru. I whakanohohia e nga taote he ngongo angiangi me te kaamera i te pito e mohiotia ana ko te endoscope ki roto i te puku o te wahine, i whakaatuhia ai ko te taringa e kapi ana i te mukus (whakaahua) I hohonu tana manawa, engari i te wa tonu ka mohio ia ki te pakaru o tona kaki. I tīmata ia ki te kō atu i te toto, te kō, me te pōturi o te manawa, ā, i kawea wawe atu e te waka hohipera ki te tari A&E o te Whare Hauora o St Vincent i Hīnei, e ai ki te pūrongo. I tōna taenga mai, ka tono ngā tākuta kia whakaahuatia e rātau tētahi wherikotanga o te uma, ā, ka kite tonu rātau i tētahi mea e hē ana. I reira he puranga e "ngā āhuatanga e ōrite ana ki tētahi mowhiti kōhatu", ā, i whakapumautia e te tātaritanga CT kua mau te mowhiti ki roto i te bronchus matau o te wahine, tētahi o ngā ara hau matua e rua e ahu atu ana ki ngā kōhauhau. I whakahaua e nga taote he rongoā whakamate mate hei ārai i te mate, kātahi ka whakanohoia he ngongo roa, angiangi, he kāmera kei te pito ki roto i tōna kōhao - i roto i tētahi tukanga e mōhiotia ana ko te endoscopy. Kātahi ka taea e rātau te tirotiro i te tautau, ā, ka tangohia. I kitea e rātau he nui o te mucus huri noa i te taringa, he mea "te whakamātau a te tinana ki te peia i te tinana ke" Dr. Lucinda Blake, tetahi o nga taote i atawhai i te wahine, i korero ki LiveScience. Ko Alison Hall, 48 ona tau, tata ana kia mate i te wa i horomia ai e ia he whao teka i puta mai i tana miihini i a ia e pupuhi ana. Mehemea i tatari rātau...
I rongo te wahine o Ahitereiria i te manawa nui, a ka manawa i runga i tana inhaler kaore i te kati. I rongo ia i te wero i runga i tōna kaki, ā, ka tīmata ki te kō atu i te toto, me te kō atu i te manawa. I roto i ngā matawai o te hōhipera i kitea te tautau i mau i roto i tōna bronchus matau. I tangohia atu, ā, i whakatūpato ngā tohunga he mōrearea te waiho i ngā potae i runga i ngā pūwhāngai.
