How to Give the Heimlich Maneuver | First Aid Training




What do you do when someone's choking? You
and a friend are out in a restaurant and all
of a sudden, they start choking. I'm going
to have my friend Hannah come over here. We're
out, we're having a good time, we're eating
and all of the sudden, she seems like she's
choking. First, you ask, andquot;Are you OKandquot;? Oftentimes,
the international sign for choking is this.
I can't breathe. Something's going on. If
you're around other people, you want to get
them to help you. If you're in a restaurant
or place of business, have someone call out
for help and have the people help you out.
Tell them what you're doing. Don't just attack
them because that will just heighten their
anxiety and their panic. What you're going
to do is, you're going to stand behind them
and you're going to wrap your arms all away
around. You find their belly button with your
pinky. Make a fist.
Put the pinky on the bellybutton, then roll
it up so the knuckle of your thumb is right
there and then you thrust. You pull it in
and up, but I'm not going to do it as hard.
In and up. In and up until they can dislodge
whatever is in there and they can breathe
again. Don't go crazy like in the movies and
start slapping their back and wrestling. Sometimes
people get carried away and they want to slap
your back. They just end up hurting you. If
the person is pregnant or a larger person
and you can't get your arms all away around
to where their belly button is, you want to
go higher, up to where their breastbone is.
So, say Hannah is pregnant - Congratulations!
You wrap around. You find their breastbone.
You do the same thing. In and up. In and up
until they dislodge whatever is in their throat
and they can breathe again. If the person
is so big, if you're a small person, and you
have a big strapping person with you who's
choking and you just can't even do that. You
can assist them in doing a self Heimlich maneuver
on a chair or surface that will get to their
diaphragm. You just lean them over. Talk them
through it.
Stay calm. The more panicky you get, the more
panicky they're going to get. They're already
in a state of anxiety because they can't breathe,
which is normal. If they lose consciousness
and they fall to the floor, you're going to
lay them down. You're going to roll them over
and then you're going to do the same thing.
You're going to find the bellybutton, roll
up, and you're going to thrust while they're
on the floor until that comes out or until
help arrives. Continue trying to do the thrusts
and trying to get them to get that out of
their throat so they can breathe again. Stay
with them until help arrives.
