This would be the heimlich manoevre. this is used for choking. * If the victim shows signs of mild airway obstruction: * Encourage him to continue coughing, but do nothing else. * If the victim shows signs of severe airway obstruction and is conscious: * Give up to five back blows. ** Stand to the side and slightly behind the victim. ** Support the chest with one hand and lean the victim well forwards so that when the obstructing object is dislodged it comes out of the mouth rather than goes further down the airway. ** Give up to five sharp blows between the shoulder blades with the heel of your other hand. ** Check to see if each back blow has relieved the airway obstruction. The aim is to relieve the obstruction with each blow rather than necessarily to give all five. * If five back blows fail to relieve the airway obstruction give up to five abdominal thrusts (see Heimlich manoeuvre below). ** Stand behind the victim and put both arms round the upper part of his abdomen. ** Lean the victim forwards. ** Clench your fist and place it between the umbilicus (navel) and the bottom end of the sternum (breastbone). ** Grasp this hand with your other hand and pull sharply inwards and upwards. ** Repeat up to five times. * If the obstruction is still not relieved, continue alternating five back blows with five abdominal thrusts.
