| Chocking
Adult or child Symptoms include Grabbing the throat with hand Inability to speak Weak, ineffective coughing High pitched sounds while inhaling
Interventions Step1: Shout, “Are you okay? Can you speak? “Assess for airway obstruction. Don’t intervene if the person is coughing forcefully and able to speak; a strong cough can dislodge the object
Step2: Stand behind the person and wrap your arms around the person’s waist (if pregnant or obese, wrap arms around chest
Step 3: Make a fist with one hand; place the thumb-side of your fist just above the person’s navel and well below the sternum
Step4: Grasp your fist with your other hand
Step5: Use quick, upward and inward thrust with your fist (perform chest thrusts for pregnant or obese victims)
Step6: Continue thrust until the object is dislodged or the victim loses consciousness. If the latter occurs, activate the emergency response number and provide CPR. Each time you open the airway to deliver rescue breaths, look in the mouth and remove any object you see. Never perform a blind finger-sweep
