Can you do videos showing how to help someone who is choking in a wheelchair or pregnant?

if the choking victim becomes unresponsive and you start CPR, do you still administer rescue breaths?

It breaks my heart seeing that little girl suffering because of the negligence of the administration at that school. They should be required to train all staff on hymlech maneuver and cpr certification so no child has to suffer the same fate

I think there's a misconception because somebody thinks if someone can cough that they're not joking.

My two year old son choked and had a complete obstruction. It was the scariest moment of my life. He was rigid and turning purple. I grabbed him so fast and administered very hard back blows. The food dislodged at the third blow thank goodness. I will never forget this or let my kids eat without supervision. It happened so fast!

My mom and dad have both done the heimlec on me multiple times, we figured out I have a chronic straightening of the esophagus because it happened so much

This is so important! I’ve also seen a lot of comments about lifevac and other suction devices and I wanted to mention that these are NOT to be used before Heimlich or back/abdominal thrusts.

I always think about this... my mom was a nurse. I choked 3x in my life (twice on orange slices) she knew exactly what to do.

I know there is a way for someone to do it for themselves up against a chair. Can you explain how to do it if you’re alone

I did back blows to my 2 year old the other day. I thought he was choking on his breakfast. As I was reaching for our lifevac when he said “all better”.

It’s so scary. I had to do it to my daughter multiple times. I even did it to a woman when I was very pregnant until someone came to help.

I had to do it on my 6 month old grandson. He was turning blue and his mother come running towards me and I was able to flip him over and hit him on his back allowing him to cough up the mucus that was clogging his throat to come out. He was able to start coughing and breathing again while the ambulance got there. He had just gotten home from the hospital the day before due to RSV.

Could you show on a manakin/CPR dummy exactly how hard the back blows should be. I think a lot of people underestimate the type of back blow that is necessary. I think that would be helpful for many people.
