"I think H/h may be hoofd/hals."

Is an option.
If they mention other findings under H/h in this area, this would further support it.

Or after 'H/h' proceed to 'chest/chest wall', this may be a further indication.

Agree that 'in' the mouth is most likely here.

They want to check whether there is an open airway and prevent aspiration of blood and loose 'elementen', which most likely means 'gebitselementen' (teeth) here.

I'm not clear what H/h or kunstelementen are.
