What are The specific signs of a total airway obstruction?

The specific signs of total airway obstruction include the inability to speak, breath, or cough effectively. The person may exhibit signs of distress, such as clutching the throat, gasping for air, or turning blue (cyanosis) due to lack of oxygen. Additionally, they may exhibit a high-pitched wheezing sound or no sound at all, indicating severe difficulty in breathing. Immediate intervention is required in such cases to restore airway patency.
