Jill saving Chandler from choking on goo( in the ATM entrance way) in the television series ‘ musketeers ’ is one of the most iconic scenes of Heimlich Maneuver. So, if you want to know how to save a choking person, read on.
Heimlich Maneuver is principally abdominal thrusts performed on a person who has choked on their food. This is generally a first aid given by another person but if you have no bone around, you can fluently do this to yourself too.
Why should you learn to perform Heimlich Maneuver?
When we eat food, it goes into our mouth, through the food pipe and also into our stomach. But occasionally when we're talking or laughing while eating, our food gets stuck in the opening of the windpipe( trachea) and makes it insolvable for us to breathe which can ultimately lead to-death. However, a friend or indeed if a foreigner has choked on their food, there's no time to take them to a croakier in this case, If you're at a eatery or at home at your regale table and a family member. You could literally save a life if you know how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver.
Then are the way to perform this first aid ;
1. Stand behind the choking person and put your fist 3 elevation below their rib cage or 3 elevation above their belly button.
2. Bring your other arm around them and wrap it over the fist.
3. You need to put pressure inwards, that is, towards yourself and overhead too.
4. Give 5 similar thrusts in race and if it does n’t work give 5 further.
5. still, you can do it yourself too, If there's no bone
around to help.
Take out 5 twinkles of your day and exercise this initiative to help someone and save a life!
