What do you do when someone coughs without success?
If the person is choking and coughing, continue to encourage them to cough. Tell someone to call 911 (emergency services - the number is different for different parts of the world), or call 911 yourself if you are alone with the choking person. Watch for the inablilty to talk; difficulty breathing or noisy breathing; lips, skin or nails turning blue or dusky; inability to cough forcefully; loss of consciousness. If you see any of the above signs, then give 5 back blows followed by 5 abdominal thrusts. Continue with the back blows and abdominal thrusts until the object is dislodged. If the person becomes unconscious or stops breathing, give CPR.
In the heimlich maneuver the fist is pressed into the victim's abdomen with what?
The Heimlich maneuver (now called abdominal thrusts by the American Red Cross) is done by making a fist (pac-man / thumb facing the stomach) with one hand and on the stomach and the other hand, open-faced, helping to push the fist up into the diaphragm. That in-and-up ("J") motion applies pressure to the diaphragm, essentially knocking the wind out of you (your goal, of course). That motion should be done as hard as possible. To give you an idea of the amount of force needed, a colleague of mine did abdominal thrusts on his brother's son, an 8 year old boy who had choked on a piece of hot dog. He did four abdominal thrusts with no success. On the fifth try, the thought that he said went through his mind was "Oh my God - if I do this any harder, I'm going to break this kid's spine" and sure enough, the piece of hot dog came flying out. It takes a lot of force!

Could you explain the use of back slaps and abdominal thrusts in a choking scenario?
If a person is choking and has a serious obstruction in the airway call for an ambulance immediately. If a person is choking but still conscious: * Support the persons chest and lean them forwards (to allow gravity to help) and give five back slaps. * This should be done with the heel of your hand, between the shoulder blades and they should be sharp slaps in order to dislodge the piece of food/object they are choking on. * If the obstruction is not cleared after 5 back slaps, then give 5 abdominal thrusts. * This should be done by standing behind the person and placing a fist in the upper part of the abdomen (between the breastbone and the navel). Then hold your fist with the other hand. * Lean the choking person forward * Then pull sharply inwards and upwards * Repeat this five times * If the obstruction is still not cleared give 5 more back slaps and continue to alternate between backslaps and abdominal thrusts until obstruction is cleared or they become unconscious. If the person becomes unconscious at any time, gently lower them to the ground and commence CPR.
