The infant who has an obstructive airway and is responsive would be administered the Heimlich maneuver.

The Heimlich maneuver is a technique to perform 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts on a patient, specifically an infant. The procedure to be followed is:

● Sit with the infant on your lap

● Rest one of your forearms on your thigh and rest the baby here. His face should be lower than his chest.

● Support the infant with your other forearm

● Apply 5 back blows on his back between the two shoulders

● Now turn the infant and rest him on your other forearm. The infant is now facing upward.

● Apply slight pressure or thrust on his chest in the middle of his chest

In the above two cases, the person is trying to deport the airway obstruction in the infant by pressurizing his lungs. If the obstruction is not clear, try the above procedure again until the baby starts coughing or crying.
