To perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on an adult, stand behind the person and wrap your arms around their waist. Make a fist with one hand and place the thumb side against the middle of their abdomen, above the navel. Grasp your fist with your other hand and thrust inward and upward rapidly, repeating until the object is expelled or the person can breathe again. If the person becomes unconscious, call for emergency help and start CPR.
