Correct Answer: Cardiac arrest
Description: Ans. is 'c' i.e., Cardiac arrest Both asphyxia and cardiac arrest are causes of death in cafe coronary. Most of the guides have given asphyxia as the answer. But according to me cardiac arrest is the better one. Read following statements : "Death appears to be due to sudden hea attack." -- Reddy "The bolus offood obstruct the larynx, stimulating laryngeal nerve, so stimulating vagus nerve and thus resulting in sudden cardiopulmonary arrest and thereby sudden death." -- S.K. Singhal "Death is due to asphyxia or reflex cardiac arrest." -- Parikh "Death occurs due to cardiac arrest following parasympathetic stimulation through laryngeal nerve ending." --R.N. Karmaker
