If the victim is fully choking, you will be required to perform a Heimlich Maneuver (only for adults and children above 1-year-old). Stand behind the victim, make your hands into a fist and place it on the victim’s abdomen – one on top of the other- between the navel and xiphoid. Proceed to give a deep, upward thrust until the object is dislodged or till the victim becomes unconscious.

If the victim collapses, then proceed to lie them down, open their airway. Look for any signs of life, if none, then begin CPR.

*Do not perform Heimlich Maneuver on infants.
