What should you do if you see an object in a victims throat that is blocking their airway?
If you see an object blocking a victim's airway, do not attempt to remove it with your fingers, as this may push it further down. Instead, perform the Heimlich maneuver (abdominal thrusts) to try to dislodge the object. If the victim becomes unresponsive, call for emergency help and begin CPR while checking the mouth for the object after each set of compressions. Always prioritize calling for emergency assistance if the situation allows.

Short blows to the surface of the chest?
Short blows to the surface of the chest are a technique used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to help dislodge a foreign object blocking the airway. This technique, known as back blows, should be delivered with the heel of the hand between the shoulder blades to avoid causing harm. It can be performed on conscious choking victims before attempting the Heimlich maneuver.
Is it true that you should not perform the blind finger sweep as the object may be pushed further into the throat and airway?
true
What is the most common cause of airway obstruction in an unconscious supine patient?
The most common cause of airway obstruction in any patient - supine or not - is the tongue. This is why the first maneuver that should be performed on a patient not breathing is the head-tilt/chin-lift or the jaw thrust. This is to help clear the tongue from the airway and may allow the person to breathe again.
Should a padded tongue blade or soft object be placed between the victims teeth during a convulsion?
yes

How do you open the airway during CPR?
No.Once an advanced airway is emplaced and confirmed, chest compressions should be performed continuously at a rate of at least 100 per minute. Simultaneously, you should deliver ventilations every 3-5 seconds using the bag-valve-mask

When choking on food is most likely caused by an interferance with the proper functioning of the?
When choking on food, it is most likely caused by an interference with the proper functioning of the airway passage. This can happen due to food getting stuck in the throat or airway, blocking the passage of air into the lungs. Immediate action should be taken to clear the obstruction and ensure proper breathing.
