UN Thread Types. UN (Unified) is a specification of the shape and dimensions of the thread for a given size (diameter) of fastener and number of threads per inch of fastener length. UN bolts and machine screws are the type of fastener in everyday use in the US, UK, and Canada. UN, UNR, and UNJ thread dimensions are measured in Imperial units.
Causes The airway can become narrowed or blocked due to many causes, including: Allergic reactions in which the trachea or throat swell closed, including allergic reactions to a bee sting, peanuts, antibiotics (such as penicillin), and blood pressure medicines (such as ACE inhibitors) Chemical burns and reactions. Epiglottitis (infection of the structure separating the trachea from the esophagus)
The pediatric trachea is much more pliable and smaller in diameter than the adult and has immature tracheal rings. The increased pliability of the trachea can be troublesome in the pediatric patient because hyperextension or hyperflexion of the neck may lead to complete or partial occlusion of the airway.
