@dr.jmack: If a child or adult is choking: 1) Remain calm 2) Assess whether the person needs rescue attempts or not, if they are coughing on their own, let them continue, this is their best chance to expel that foreign body. Immediately attempt rescue if they have: ➡️ Weak or no cough ➡️ High-pitched squeaking noises or no sound ➡️ Pale or blue skin color ➡️ Unable to cough, speak or cry ➡️ Holding throat with hands 3) Have someone call 911 and attempt rescue maneuvers: ➡️ Give 5 back blows. Use the heel of the hand to strike between the shoulder blades (see images in video for positioning or adult/child/infant) ➡️ If no improvement and over 1 year of age, attempt 5 abdominal thrusts (aka Heimlich maneuver). If less than 1, perform chest thrusts. ➡️ Continue alternating 5 back blows & 5 abdominal thrusts (or if under 1, 5 back blows & 5 chest thrusts) until pt is coughing, speaking, or crying ➡️ If patient becomes unresponsive, initiate CPR Follow for more potentially life saving content 🤜🤛 #emergencymedicine #ems #emt #physician #nurse #nursepractitioner #physicianassistant #medschool

This is exactly why I carry a LifeVac on me all the time and am first aid certified.

Oh put a warning on this video! I’m in tears. A mother’s worst fear. I thought my daughter was choking on a grape, it fell out & I didn’t see it. I almost removed her tonsil. #notfunny

Long as the victim is coughing, wait to intervene. No cough, no breathing: intervene!

So they did it wrong? Not knocking them, just curious if it ever happened around me.

What do you think about the suction thingies for choking? I have one in my home and one in my car.

I thought that just pushes it further down the throat. Good to know that not true

had to do this last week, asked my son to try and cough whilst patting on his back, it worked eventually, very easy to panic in these situations

My heart was racing, I am trained in CPR (I’m a Registered Nurse) but I hope never to have to use it out in the wild like that 😭

My daughter choked on a gobstopper at 9 and I am still traumatized from having to give her full on thrusts to get it out. She’s fine but man it was traumatizing

The police pulled this off. Every parent should get a class of how to give the Heimlich maneuver to a baby and toddler. This could be done right at the hospital.

That really scared me for that child. Aren’t police officers trained in basic first aide though.?

Consider using gravity to your advantage. Bend the child forward at the waist while using back thrusts.
