You must obtain consent before performing the Heimlich maneuver on a conscious adult. This statement is false.

<h3>What is Heimlich maneuver?</h3>
  • To conduct the Heimlich maneuver (abdominal thrusts) on another person:
  1. Put yourself in their rear. For balance, place one foot just in front of the other. Arm yourself at the waist. Lean the individual slightly forward. Get on your knees behind the youngster if they are choking.
  2. A fist should be made. It should be placed just above the person's navel.
  3. Use the other hand to hold the fist. As though trying to hoist the individual up, quickly thrust upward while pressing firmly into the abdomen.
  4. Up to 10 abdominal thrusts should be performed to free the obstruction. Perform routine cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with chest compressions and rescue breaths if the victim becomes unconscious.
