In modified abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver for conscious individuals, the rescuer should position their hands slightly above the person's navel.

The thrusts are delivered inward and upward in a quick motion to help expel an obstructing object from the airway. This technique is typically used when the person is unable to cough or breathe effectively due to choking.
