Choking First Aid (Child Over 8 Years or Adult)
How to perform the Heimlich maneuver on a choking child, age 8 and above, or an adult:
- From a standing position, wrap your arms around the person's mid-section. Place your fist just above his navel and cover your fist with your other hand.
- Quickly thrust your hands up and inward. Thrust hard enough to lift him off his feet. Repeat until the blockage is cleared.
