Heimlich Maneuver
The Heimlich Maneuver is the best known method of removing an object from the
airway of a person who is choking. You can use it on yourself or someone
else. These are the steps:
1. Stand behind the choking person and wrap your arms around his or her waist.
Bend the person slightly forward.
2. Make a fist with one hand and place it slightly above the person's navel.
3. Grasp your fist with the other hand and press hard into the abdomen with a
quick, upward thrust. Repeat this
procedure until the object is expelled from the airway.
If you must perform this maneuver on yourself, position your own fist slightly
above your navel. Grasp your fist with your other hand and thrust upward
into your abdomen until the object is expelled.
A single candle can illuminate an entire room. A true friend lights up
an entire lifetime. Thanks for the bright lights of your friendship.
