After the compressions, look in the mouth and if you see the object, sweep it out. If not, attempt to ventilate again; if breaths don't go in, repeat: compressions, look, sweep if object seen, and attempt to ventilate.
If a choking victim is unresponsive and has no pulse, call emergency services immediately. Begin CPR by performing chest compressions at a rate of 100-120 compressions per minute. After every 30 compressions, open the airway and give 2 rescue breaths; then continue the cycle. If you can, check the mouth for any visible obstruction and remove it if it's safe to do so.
Unconscious choking maneuvers.
best method of opening the airway of an unresponsive victim when you do not suspect cervical spine injury
A victim with a foreign-body airway obstruction becomes unresponsive. What is your first course of action?
To relieve an obstructed airway in an unresponsive adult patient, first, call for emergency medical help. Perform the Heimlich maneuver if the patient is still breathing, or if they are completely unresponsive, initiate CPR while checking the mouth for any visible obstruction. Use back blows and chest thrusts if the patient is conscious but choking. If unresponsive, continue with CPR and attempt to clear the airway with each rescue breath.
Asthma: spasms and narrowing of bronchi leading to airway obstruction
- Provide continuous chest compressions without pauses at 10 bpm
To relieve severe airway obstruction in a responsive adult, first, encourage the person to cough forcefully to try to expel the obstruction. If the obstruction persists, perform the Heimlich maneuver (abdominal thrusts) by standing behind the individual, placing your arms around their waist, and delivering quick inward and upward thrusts. Continue this until the obstruction is cleared or the person becomes unresponsive, at which point you should initiate CPR and call for emergency medical assistance.
It is called Airway obstruction / Tracheal obstruction
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.

CABs of CPR are: Compressions, airway, and breathing.
