Chapter 10: Choking Emergencies

Adult and Child

A common sign of choking is when someone grabs their neck with one or both hands. This is known as the universal choking sign.

Ask, “Are you choking?”

Recognising-choking

If they cannot speak, breathe, or cough forcefully:

  • Stand behind them.
  • Place a fist just above the belly button.
  • Grasp your fist with your other hand.
  • Give quick, upward abdominal thrusts.

Continue until the object comes out or they can breathe.

If the person becomes unconscious:

  • Lower them to the ground.
  • Begin CPR immediately.

For pregnant individuals or those you cannot reach around, use chest thrusts instead.

Infant Choking

If an infant cannot cry, cough, or breathe:

  1. Hold the infant face down on your forearm, head lower than chest.
  2. Give 5 firm back blows between the shoulder blades.Choking-infant

  4. Give 5 chest thrusts using two fingers.
  5. Continue alternating 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts.

If the infant becomes unconscious:
