If someone, a child or adult, is choking you shouldn’t hesitate and immediately use the Heimlich maneuver! This method is well-known and a life saver, if you do not know the method, ask around if someone else knows it, if nobody knows, CALL 911 AND GET AN AMBULANCE!

Do not perform the Heimlich maneuver on infants (those under 1 year of age)

The Heimlich maneuver is as follows:

Make the person choking stand up

Stand behind the person.

Lean the person forward and give five blows to their back with the heel of your hand.

Place your arms around their waist.

Make a fist and place it just above the navel, Make sure your thumb side is in!!

Grab the fist with your other hand and push it into there and upward at the same time. Perform five of these, continue until the person can breathe or cough again, make sure the thing they’re choking on is gone.
