If a choking victim is coughing you should?
If a choking victim is coughing, you should encourage them to continue coughing forcefully, as this can help expel the object blocking their airway. Do not intervene unless the coughing becomes ineffective or the person cannot breathe, speak, or make sounds. In such cases, you can administer back blows and abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) to help dislodge the obstruction. Always call for emergency assistance if the situation does not improve.

How can you tell if an adult is choking?
They should be showing the universal sign for choking (two hands around the neck). Sometimes they'll be coughing instead, and if they are coughing, let them. That means that air is still going in and out and their body will try to get it out itself. It's not until you can't hear them breathing/gasping anymore. Sometimes their face will turn blue also, so just be prepared to act just in case.
Should you try to relieve chokng if an infant is coughing loudly?
If an infant is coughing loudly, it is best to allow them to cough as this is the body's way of trying to clear the airway. If the infant is unable to cough or cry, turning blue, or struggling to breathe, then you should intervene and perform back blows and chest thrusts to relieve the choking.
When someone is choking you should first ask?
You should ask them if they are choking. Encourage them to keep coughing - as long as they are able to cough, they are able to get some air and may be able to dispel the object without your help. If they are not able to cough, and if you know how to perform abdominal thrust maneuvers to try to dislodge the object, you should also ask them if you can help them before making any attempts.
What two directions should Abdominal Thrust be given in?
Abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver, should be given in an upward and inward direction to forcefully expel an obstructing object from a choking person's airway. This technique creates pressure in the diaphragm to push the air out, dislodging the blockage.

What care should you give to a conscious child who is choking and coughing?
Assess the situation. You can gain two very important pieces of information from this history, mainly... * She is still concious * She is coughing, if you can hear coughs or any sort of sound, that mean the airway is still patent, even if only partially. Get her to bend over a chair and hit forcefully with an open palm of the hand between the shoulder bone. If this does not resolve after three strikes, call an ambulance.
