The heimlich maneuver is not a thing. You use it to stop someone from choking. stand behind them, make a fist with one hand, put your other palm on top of that hand, put both hands on the choking persons breastbone then push up and in quickly. do this as long as they are choking.

Should one start chest compressions CPR on a person who passes out after unsuccessful attempts at Heimlich?

Chest compressions are for cardiac problems, to maintain some blood circulation. The Heimlich Maneuver is for a blocked airway. If the person has a blocked airway and Heimlich did not clear it, chest compressions are not going to help. Find other ways to clear the airway.

What happens if your girl swallows a chicken bone?

If it is lodged in your throat, and you can't get it out, have someone perform the Heimlich Maneuver. If you are alone, pull your fist into your upper abdomen, or bend over the back of a chair and force it against your abdomen. **Though, I highly doubt that anyone needing the Heimlich would have the time to do an internet search to find this answer. As a matter of fact, it was the 3rd result on Google for me. That said, if you DO need the Heimlich, you're probably currently choking to death on your floor and can't read this right now. Sorry.**


What to do if a child is drowning and you do know CPR?

There is some controversy. Some say five thrusts of the Heimlich maneuver should be performed if the person has been underwater and the person is unconscious followed by CPR if there is no pulse/breathing. Others say that if no pulse/breathing is present, CPR should be started immediately without any thrusts of the Heimlich. Check with local authorities to find out what is routinely done in your area.


Is there a way to save someone if their face turns purple?

If they're choking, perform the heimlich maneuver to remove the airway obstruction. If it isn't choking, really the only thing that you can do is wait until they become unresponsive and stop breathing. That's when you perform CPR. If you find them unresponsive then do CPR.
