If you encounter a conscious, choking individual that is coughing, encourage continued coughing. If the victim is unable to cough, speak, or breathe, complete the following:

Send someone to call 9-1-1
Lean person forward and give 5 back blows with heel of your hand.
Give 5 quick abdominal thrusts by placing the thumbside of your fist against the middle of the victim's abdomen, just above the navel. Grab your fist with the other hand.
Repeat until the object the person is choking on is forced out and person breathes or coughs on his or her own.
