I'm sitting here watching this with a full stomach after having seconds at dinner and thinking how much that would hurt if I needed it right now. I took a class in high school called Life Management when I was 14, and we were taught this as part of our CPR certification training. You have to stay up to date, though. Some of the stuff we learned back then is outdated now.

It’s too fast …Been watching few times but can barely read the writing before the next slide appears

To be fair, in a situation where someone is choking, you don’t really have lots of time to do something

[@Baldrick_dogsbody]

So what is this manouvre used for then ?

[@OlaOlka-i6c]

for choking

[@Mario-ge9iv]

Just aim for the center cavity below the ribcage(slightly above abdomen). Upward thrusts.

my 5 year old was choking on a grape while watching the TV. He was visibly gasping for air and struggling. Did this maneuver on him and the grape popped out of his mouth. By God, we've never bought grapes for us any more since then.

What about an obese person? If you can’t get your arms around them

[@OlaOlka-i6c]

that's why obesity leads to premature death

[@thequickwit8174]

They would have died sooner or later anyways so...

I feel like everyone needs to know this. That and doing CPR to "Staying Alive."❤

I saved my husband’s life. I had to stand behind him on a couple steps to do it because he is 6’1” and I’m only 5’3”. It was hard to do but I kept at it. Finally a huge chunk of meat flew across the room from the force. If he was alone I seriously don’t think he would have made it. Just because someone’s life is saved by another, does not mean they can even say thank you. People are people and do what people do. Go fiqure.

You are opposite to me. Iam 5 ft 4 and my wife is 6ft 2. Lol

[@logarithm0]

So he didn't say thank you?
