What is the difference in choking treatment between an adult and a child?
There is not a difference in choking treatment between an adult and a child; 5 back blows and 5 upward abdominal thrusts. Back blows and thrusts would be less force for a child and you may have to adjust your height by going down on 1 or 2 knees.
What should you do for a conscious adult who is choking and cannot cough?
FIRST: Put some latex gloves on - this will protect your hands from HIV or hepititis, (two blood-born deseases), that could come out with the obstruction and/or vomitis. Gloves also make the patient aware that you are trained and can help. 1. Ask "Are you choking?" This rules out an alternate situation such as an allergic reaction. 2. Say "I know first aid, can I help you?" You must always obtain consent before treating a patient. 3. Stand behind the patient with your right foot just behind and between the patients legs. Landmark for the proper abdominal thrust position by sliding your hands down the patients sides until you feel the hip bones, then encircle the hips with your arms. The proper position is just below where your hands will meet here. 4. Hold your right hand against the abdomen in line with the navel, curl your fist (thumb should be against the patients body). Place your left hand behind your right to strengthen it. 5. Pull HARD, inward and upward simultaneously. (Abdominal Thrust) 6. Continue performing abdominal thrusts until the patient manages to make noise again (high-pitched wheezes don't count), or he/she goes unconscious. If he/she goes unconscious, **alert the Emergency Services**, provide first aid for the unconscious casualty (will most likely require CPR, with the addition of mouth checks before every ventilation).

What are the differences in CPR for an unconscious adult with a pulse and an unconscious adult without a pulse?
CPR for the lay person, denoted just CPR, there is no longer a pulse check for an adult, so once CPR is started, it will be continued unless the person begins to show signs of life. In CPR-FPR (CPR for the Professional Rescuer) there is still a circulation check, so RB at 1 breath / 5 seconds is part of that certification. To specifically answer your question, most people would do CPR and not check for a pulse on an adult, because it is not part of the curriculum. For a professional person, they would perform rescue breathing with a pulse and CPR without a pulse.
What is the treatment of choking?
First, make sure they are choking not having an asthma attack. Ask them "Are you choking?" If they nod, put your arm on their chest, lean them forward and hit them with your free hand in between the shoulder blades. If the object comes out on the first strike, don't continue otherwise repeat. Do 5 backslaps and the object still hasn't come out, you need to do abdominal thrust 5 times. Put one hand down until you find where the ribs meet, place your other hand on top of it and pull upwards. If they're smaller than you, try not to lift them off the ground. If the object comes out, stop otherwise call emergency number/ambulance.Caution: Abdominal thrust runs the risk of damaging the casualty's internal organs.
