How to perform the Heimlich maneuver
A choking adult cannot speak or breathe and needs immediate help. From behind, wrap around the waist then place a clenched fist above the navel and press upward thrusts until the object is expelled. If unconscious, lay the person back, kneel, and perform abdominal thrusts with body weight. If no recovery, start CPR and seek medical care.
Heimlich Maneuver for Choking Infants and Self Help
Instructions cover laying the child face up on a firm surface and performing quick upward abdominal thrusts with both hands just above the navel. Procedures emphasize avoiding rib squeeze, remaining gentle, and repeating until the object is expelled. Self aid guidance warns that choking blocks speech and breathing and requires immediate help.
