The Chokeables: How to save a choking baby - St John Ambulance

[@rachelmarsh4403]

I watched this advert a couple of years ago. Today I saved my son's life because of it.

[@stjohnambulanceorg]

Hope your little one is alright now, Rachel! Well done for remembering what to do. We'd love to hear more about what happened - please contact [e-mail] if you would like to share.

[@pootsieman]

this saved my baby's life last night

[@MsMuppet1000]

I totally support this campaign as a parent who's 6 month old son nearly choked to death on a piece of paper he tore from his older sister's book. Thankfully due to other TV campaigns and because my husband is a First Aider we knew what to do My son celebrated his 5th Birthday the other day.

[@Hissanrach]

I did not expect that voice to come out of that girl.

Brilliant, short, clear, memorable information on what to do in a serious situation for anyone, any age to understand. Well done St John's Ambulance.

[@100nitrog2]

I'm glad they put this video up. They didn't teach us how to deal with babies in CPR/AED.

[@RavenWing1972]

This really needs to be shared. It could save the life of a choking baby.

[@leokimvideo]

It would be nice if the Department Of Fair Trading really got serious about nasty knock-off toys on sale in Australia which tend to have some pretty bad choking hazards toys

Awareness Videos! As an 80's kid these type of Videos used to be ever where! This is great!

[@MeaCulpaMerlin]

YES!! Public Information Films (as they were known in the UK). There was one featuring a malevolent becloaked, hooded Grim Reaper type (looked more like a monk lost in a quarry after too much Buckfast wine though...) -lurking around a group of boys playing close to deep water. Scared the Bejeezus out of me as a youngster growing up in the 1970s!

[@SumthinMstBAvailable]

Every parent should take a first aid course. You never know when you'll need to use jt. My niece started choking and my sister literally threw her in my arms in a state of panic. If I'd not been there who knows what could have happened.

[@scottiegirl2041]

This is so effective! Thanks to Johnny Vegas, David Mitchell, David Walliams and John Hurt, more precious little lives will be saved. They've made the difference!

[@m3sca1]

What kind of idiot would thumbs down a video like this?

[@kittycatswhiskers]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@bombkangaroo]

The kind that sees a comment like yours and decides it's funny. :P

[@GriseWeisshark]

People who had their babies die because of choking I guess? I mean, they disliked this for not being uploaded earlier before their babies choke.

[@theduckpug9367]

I'm part of St. John's ambulance and I'm a cadet and I think it's very useful to know because it can happen anytime and people should know what to do

[@shonajenkins372]

Been on a 3 day First Aid course this week with SJA. This advert has so far saved 47 lives.....Keep sharing!

[@DavidLloyd810]

28 years ago our baby somehow removed part of a snap that was part of a pair of overalls that he was dressed in. Our first hint there was a problem was a strange metallic buzzing sound. He looked distressed but was not crying. Then his face started looking purple. My wife, in a panic, said call 9-1-1. I said there isn't time. She said, let's rush him to the hospital. I said, he won't be alive in the time take it takes to drive there. I had no idea what to do, but I had her hold him upside down by the ankles, and I reached into his mouth, and I could feel that the rim of the snap was caught in his larynx. I stretched his throat around the obstruction until the snap fell out. He survived. We got rid of all clothing with that style of snap.

[@pomstarSF]

+David Lloyd Man that must have been very scary for you but well done for staying calm. So glad you managed to find a way to help the baby.

[@57305northernprincess]

RIP JOHN HURT. bit of a surprise when the girl opened her mouth and David Walliams voice came out

[@mathieuleader8601]

the Chokeables a great animated sitcom if I ever saw one

[@topsui]

how hard should you be doing the backblows?

[@dowddash]

Just fucking drill them in the back as hard as you can.

[@asdfghjkl17226]

Hit with a fair bit of force with an upward motion. So, let your palm hit around the shoulder blades and then immediately slide your hand upwards so that the child isn't just taking direct hits. The vibrations moving up should help dislodge the hazard

[@WATERBUG3689]

Think of how you would "slap" a grown person on the back if they were choking. Slightly more reserved than that and with the heel of your hand. The chest press are with two fingers, typically the pointer and middle, as if you were performing CPR on the child. Never stick your finger in the child's mouth to attempt to retrieve a foreign object. Call 911 as soon as possible. If the child becomes limp or unresponsive, call 911 and begin CPR.

[@kristaw2686]

You have to remember that in a truly serious choking scenario, your first priority is to get that object out so the child can breathe. If the object is really in there good, don't be shy about hitting the back pretty hard. Obviously you don't want to hurt the child but it's worse for them to not breathe.

[@bombkangaroo]

topsui I'd say you should be hitting them at full force, using kaio-ken x4 at least.

[@Audimanful]

Outstanding, we are using this when teaching first aid course.

[@stilettosandshades]

Was the gummy baby the voice of Johnny Vegas?

[@chazzh69]

David Mitchell as a pen lid, David Walliams as a princess doll, Johnny Vegas a jelly baby and Sir John Hurt as a peanut.

[@eleanorhogan8004]

That thing that came out of the Jelly Babe's mouth, was that a peanut or a tablet? because it looked like a peanut but it was too small.

[@Emjay2226]

A peanut is very common to choke on such as someone giving there child a peanut while not realizing it was allergic which can cause them to choke. & yes it was a peanut :/

[@eleanorhogan8004]

Emma Jayne Hay Day Oh Sorry I thought it was a tablet at first but looking more carefully I can see it was a peanut, sorry about that.

[@nicolerichwine5767]

Ohhh....the Jelly baby turned blue because it was choking too much. I was about to ask why the Kelly baby turned blue

[@chickenandducky256]

(Kelly baby) sorry that was not my typing fault it was the iPad keyboards fault they tried to correct my spellings

[@skyblue0291]

This reminded me so much of those black and white WW2 public service announcements.

[@Durzo1259]

I think there's one point (and a few others) that really needs some elaboration though... a big public disservice from television is that if we all did CPR like on TV, a lot of people would be dead. In reality - for an adult - CPR needs to be done so *hard* to restart a stopped-heart, that you'll likely break the person's ribs. Of course this isn't CPR, it's "Chest-Thrusts" - and it's done on a baby - so my question is: *how hard should one do "chest-thrusts" on a baby to dislodge an asphyxiating object obstructing the airway?* *Also, if someone could please fill me (and anybody else) in:* - Is it really done with a single finger as it looks-like in the video? 2 fingers perhaps? - Where *exactly* is the pressure being put? It looks like the Solar Plexus in the video, but I don't like referencing claymation when baby's lives hang in the balance. - Is the pressure being put strait-down, or is it more of an "in-and-up" kind of deal? - If the chest-thrust phase is still unsuccessful and there's too precious-little time to just sit-there idly waiting for an ambulance, is there a name we could look-up for some type of procedure for removing an obstruction that's too-deep in the airway to simply grab (normally, with your fingers)? - Assuming every option has been exhausted, is it possible (in-theory, not necessarily recommended) to do a tracheotomy on an infant? Are there any special precautions, methods or considerations if one had to resort to this phase? *And if anybody feels like volunteering some bonus-points for good-karma* - If someone actually *did* need to do actual CPR on an infant, would it be done as proportionately-hard as you would with an adult? Does one dare so much as slightly-crack a baby's ribs if their life depends on it? - Would a baby's heart truly need to be *Stopped* to justify CPR, or it reason-enough if they're just not-breathing with an unobstructed airway? - Is it true that with standard/modern CPR, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation has now been scrapped in-favour of simultaneously attending to the "cardio" and "pulmonary" resuscitation aspects solely with chest-compressions? If so, would the same apply to infants? And if so, does mouth-to-mouth still have a role in-and-of-itself? - What's the "Go vs Stop" pattern with CPR chest-compressions? Do you just keep it up for as long as it takes, or do you do something like "5 compressions, stop and wait [so-and-so many seconds], continue..."? Yes, I really am just *that* annoyingly detail-oriented.

[@greg3244]

Durzo I would think, then, that someone like you wouldn't be satisfied with some random answer from someone "knowing" what to do. I'm a licensed EMT but I'll tell you to go to AHA to begin finding your own answers. I applaud you not solely relying on a video such as this.

[@davismavis2834]

+Durzo It's not so much chest thrusts as it is diaphragm activation. It still requires a hefty amount of thrust in the right place and in the right direction. This also assumes that they haven't lost a heart beat. Always clear the airway first. If there's no pulse after, then administer CPR.

[@9mler]

It's a great video, although it should be emphasized that there is a specific way you're supposed to hit their back. it's not a slap. You want to hit UPwards.

[@sickasboys390]

Once when I was in Coles I tried to steal a grape and a worker saw me and I freaked out and tried to swallow the grape whole and I started choking and I stuck my finger down my throat and pushed it down and vomited and everyone was looking so I ran away

[@shawnctube]

Turn the child upside down, all the way - esophagus muscle are weak, they are designed to work with gravity, not against it. This saved my grandmother's life. Bang away like your child's life depends on it.

[@Gitohandro]

I'm not a small miscellaneous object, I resent that! Hmph

[@veralez5593]

.it took me a while to figure out the blue thing was a chewed up pen lid. Anyone else?

[@Bobby.Kristensen]

Another option, if neither of these work, cut a small opening in their throat right above their ribb cage with a very sharp knifeand insert a tube. This will make it possible to breath.
