It is used in all of the above instances but is also used for medical equipment blockages as well. When there is a blockage in the iv line it's also often called an occlusion. When my husbands oxygen line gets a kink or someone steps on it, etc the machine reads there is an occlusion.

In medicine, the term is often used to refer to blood vessels, arteries or veins which have become totally blocked to any blood flow. For issues of artery occlusion, see stenosis, atheroma, and coronary catheterization.
