Choking is a very serious problem which can potentially result in death from lack of oxygen.

Choking is also a more common injury/problem than other problems in relation with first aid.

Therefore ways of treating choking is taught in first aid as it is a regular occurrence, and one which is more serious than some people may think.

Why is knowing First Aid so important?

It is important to know First Aid so that you can be a help to yourself or others that may be injured. The chances of someone recovering more easily, or even surviving an accident or injury can be greatly improved if someone immediately uses first aid knowledge to help assist them. There are many programs to learn basic first aid taught by schools, Fire Departments, hospitals, and community organizations that are a great tool for everyone.

Members of the general public are taught to administer this care until the arrival of qualified medical personnel at the scene of a medical emergency.
