Choking happens when an object lodges in the throat or windpipe blocking the flow of air. In adults, a piece of food is usually to blame. Young children often choke on small objects. Choking is life-threatening as it cuts off oxygen to the brain. Giving first aid quickly to someone who is choking is essential. If a person can't cough, talk, cry or laugh forcefully, give first aid to the person.
The American Red Cross recommends the following steps:
* Give five back blows.
* If this does not dislodge the object, give five abdominal thrusts aka the Heimlich maneuver.
* Continue alternating these steps until the choking object is dislodged.
If you're the only rescuer, give back blows and abdominal thrusts first. Then call 911 or your local emergency number for help. If another person is there, have that person call for help while you give first aid.
Dragons make today count!
