Correct answer
- CObstrucción parcial de las vías respiratorias.partial blockage of the airway.
Gasping and snoring-like noises indicate a partial blockage of the airway. This means something is making it hard for air to reach the lungs. It is important to recognise these symptoms and take steps to clear the airway so that the person can breathe properly.
