How to Act Frist Aid For Choking?

If a person is choking, first determine if there is an exchange of air, or if the airway is completely blocked. Someone who can speak or cough forcibly still has an air supply. Encourage the victim to continue coughing and stand by!

On the other hand, if a victim is choking, but CANNOT speak or cough, the airway is obstructed and must be cleared immediately!

The HEIMLICH MANEUVER is the proper treatment for an obstructed airway in a conscious victim.

HEIMLICH MANEUVER

•  Stand behind the victim. 
• Wrap your arms around the victim's waist. 
• Make a fist with one hand & place the thumb side of the fist against the victim abdomen, just above the navel and well below the lower tip of the breast bone. 
• Grasp your fist with your other hand, with elbows out, and press your fist into the victim abdomen with quick, upward thrust. 
• Each thrust is a distinct, separate attempt to dislodge the foreign objects. 
• Repeat until object is expelled or the victim becomes unconscious.
