If you Start to Choke and you are Alone, here is the first aid to save Your Life in Just One Second. There is a great possibility that you or someone around you be in a situation of choking from food stuck in the airway. And that is one of the most awful feelings.
If choking is occurring, the Red Cross recommends a “five-and-five” approach to delivering first aid (according to mayo clinic):
- Give 5 back blows. First, deliver five back blows between the person’s shoulder blades with the heel of your hand.
- Give 5 abdominal thrusts. Perform five abdominal thrusts (also known as the Heimlich maneuver).
- Alternate between 5 blows and 5 thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.
But what if you are alone in that moment?
This is the reason you should know this! And Be sure to share with all your family and friends you care!
