over 3,000 people choke to death each year. talking or laughing while eating can cause choking. the american red cross recommends a "five-and-five" approach to delivering first aid. give 5 back blows and then 5 abdominal thrusts known as the heimlich maneuver to remove the object. the five back blows are to be delivered by the heel of the hand between the victim's shoulder blades. then the rescuer is to use the heimlich maneuver five times.

the heimlich maneuver is an important part of assisting a choking victim. in the event someone begins to choke and is giving signs that they are unable to breathe, the rescuer needs to know how to deliver the heimlich manuever. named after its inventor, dr. henry heimlich, this method calls for applying sudden pressure on the victim's stomach to bring forth the object that is blocking the windpipe. in this activity you will practice the heimlich maneuver.
1. seek permission from a parent or adult to practice the method on them.
2. to perform the heimlich maneuver, stand behind the victim and wrap your arms around the victim's waist.
3. with one hand make a fist and place the thumb just above the belly button. wrap the other hand around the fist.
4. push the fist with quick upward thrusts into the victim's stomach.
do not use the full force you would with an actual patient.
5. each thrust should be a separate attempt to dislodge the object. (the object is to use the residual air in the lungs to force the object out.)
6. take care not to apply pressure to the rib cage as it could break the ribs, especially when performed on children and the elderly.
