What is the correct position for giving abdominal thrusts if a child is choking and still responding?.
I am Lyosha [343]

Rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute and depth of at least 2 inches is correct position for giving abdominal thrusts if a child is choking and still responding.

<h3>What is the best compression rate in child?</h3>

5 abdominal thrusts should be done (also known as the Heimlich maneuver). Till the obstruction is removed, alternate 5 blows and 5 thrusts.

When a foreign object gets stuck in the windpipe or neck and blocks the airway, choking happens. In adults, food is frequently to blame. Young kids frequently ingest tiny items. Give first assistance as soon as you can because choking prevents the brain from getting oxygen.

Hands clasped to the throat are the common indication that someone is choking. Look for these signs if the person doesn't deliver the signal:

  1. unable to speak
  2. breathing that is difficult or noisy
  3. breathing noises that are squeaky
  4. Coughing that can be gentle or vigorous
  5. becoming blue or dark on the skin, lips, and nails
  6. flushed skin that afterwards becomes blue or pallid
  7. consciousness loss
