Choking
What to do in case of choking?
- Lean the victim forward,
- and strike the area between the shoulder blades five times.
If the blows do not help, use the Heimlich maneuver:
- Bend the victim forward.
- wrap your arms around them, placing one hand on their upper abdomen (below the sternum),
- wrap your other hand around your clenched fist,
- and pull vigorously inward and upward.
(Warning! Do not use on pregnant women):
- If the above measures do not produce the desired results, call 999 or 112 immediately.
- If the victim is unconscious, begin CPR.
