You recognise that a child is choking.
00:03
You ask if you can help.
00:04
So you send someone to call 911, you stand behind the victim, what do you do next? backslaps, abdominal thrusts, chest thrusts, or lay the shower down.
00:15
So the problem here is that there is something occluding the airway.
00:20
So if you imagine you have the mouth here and it goes into the airway, something is blocking it.
00:28
And we want to remove that.
00:30
So beyond this, it splits off into the lungs.
00:34
Now, if somebody is choking, their first response is going to be to cough, to try to force air up, to try to get this object out.
00:44
And sometimes they can do that, but sometimes there is no airflow...
