Place the baby face down on your arm and apply five compressions between the shoulder blades (in the middle of the back). Turn the baby face up on your arm and apply five more compressions on the sternum (the bone that divides the chest in half), at the level of the nipples. Try to visualize the foreign body and gently remove it from the mouth. If this is not possible, repeat the compressions until you reach an emergency room or hospital. These procedures are only valid if the choking child or adult is conscious. Unconscious victims require immediate hospital care. First aid for choking or choking should be administered until specialized care is available.
What to do in case of choking on a foreign body: Heimlich maneuver
Stand behind the victim and wrap your arms around the abdomen (if the victim is a child, kneel first), if the victim is conscious. Keep one hand closed over the pit of the stomach (epigastric region). With the other hand, compress the first, simultaneously pushing the pit of the stomach inward and upward, as if trying to lift the victim off the floor. Use inward and upward compression movements (like a letter "J") until the victim expels the foreign body.
