Fidget spinner

A **fidget spinner** is a toy that some people believe helps children who can become distracted.  Gadget World has published a blog to explain the alleged benefits. However, other people such as teachers  believe that fidget spinners are a distraction. This is because teachers and their students get distracted by the noise or the hand motions that come with the fidget spinner package. 

Fidget spinners are popular among young students who collect them, sell them, trade them and play with them. Fidget spinners come in many colors and styles, and many shapes and sizes. Fidget spinners are sold at toy stores, gas stations, and convenience stores. Often, entrepreneurial students will sell them on the playground or at the bus stop.

## Facts about fidget spinners 
Catherine Hettinger, a chemical engineer, was first credited by some news stories to have been the inventor of the fidget spinner, including by media outlets such as *The Guardian*, *The New York Times* and the *New York Post*. Hettinger filed a patent application for a "spinning toy" in 1993.

Respiratory arrest

**Respiratory arrest** is the cessation of breathing due to failure of the lungs to function effectively. Apnea is the stopping of breathing. Prolonged apnea refers to a patient who has stopped breathing for a long period of time. If the heart muscle contraction is intact, the condition is known as respiratory arrest. The heart not pumping blood is called a cardiac arrest. Lack of oxygen to the brain causes loss of consciousness. 

Brain injury is likely if respiratory arrest goes untreated for more than three minutes, and death is almost certain if left untreated for more than five minutes. However, the brain is less damaged by a lack of oxygen if the body is cold, which helps in situations like treating hypothermia (such as giving CPR). This means that helping the blood flow in hypothermia is more important than treating the respiratory arrest, to some amount. One of the first serious stages of anaphylaxis is respiratory arrest, then followed by cardiac arrest and death.
