    RED CRESCENT FIRST AID TIPS

    When an adult chokes

    Determine if the victim is able to speak


    1 or cough. Ask him if he is choking. The
    victim may be using the "universal
    distress signal" of choking: clutching the neck
    between the thumb and forefinger.

    2 Ask the victim to bend forward so that


    his head is lower than his chest.

    If the victim cannot cough out the

    3 object blocking his windpipe, give him


    four sharp slaps between the shoulder
    blades with the heel of your hand. Repeat if
    necessary.

    If the person is still not able to breathe,


    4 stand behind him and perform the
    Heimlich manouver: Interlock and
    clench your fists just below the victim's ribcage.
    Pull your clenched fists suddenly inward and
    upward. Repeat if necessary. The object should
    be released into the mouth.

    Note: For victims who are in an advanced state


    of pregnancy or who are obese, perform chest
    compressions to dislodge the obstruction. Stand
    behind the victim and place your arms under the
    victim's armpits to encircle the chest. Press with
    quick backward thrusts.
