Choking
Choking is usually caused by a piece of foreign matter such as food becoming lodged in a persons windpipe. Because a choking victim is fully aware that he cannot breathe normally, a sense of panic may overcome them, making assessing the situation and rescue efforts difficult. It is important to try and keep the victim calm in order to determine whether your assistance is truly necessary or if the victims own coughing reflex is sufficient.
Assessing the situation
The best way to help depends on how serious the situation is and whether the person choking is:
an adult,
a child over one year old, or
a baby under one year old.
Mild choking in adults and children over one year old
If the airway is only partly blocked, the person will usually be able to speak, cry, cough or breathe. In situations like this, an adult or child over one year old will usually be able to clear the blockage themselves.
To help with mild choking in an adult or child over one year old:
Encourage the person to keep coughing to try and clear the blockage.
Remove any obvious blockage from their mouth, using your first two fingers and thumb to grasp the object.
Be ready to help in case their airway becomes fully blocked or the choking becomes severe.
Severe choking in adults and children over one year old
Where choking is severe, the person will not be able to speak, cry, cough or breathe. Without help, they will eventually become unconscious
