Heimlich's maneuver is a first-aid technique used in asphyxiation emergencies, caused by a piece of food or any foreign body trapped in the airway, preventing the person from breathing.
In this maneuver, the hands are used to put pressure on the choking person's diaphragm, which causes a forced cough that causes the object to be expelled from the lungs. It was invented by the American physician Henry Heimlich in 1974, and can be practiced by anyone simply by following the guidelines correctly:
To stand behind the victim, wrapping his / her arms around the victim;
Clasp one hand with the fist tightly closed and the thumb over it and place it in the upper abdomen between the navel and the ribcage;
Place the other hand over the closed fist, grasping it firmly;
Pull both hands in and up. If this region is difficult to access, as can happen in obese or pregnant women in recent weeks, one option is to locate the hands on the chest;
Repeat the maneuver for up to 5 times in a row, observing if the object has been expelled and if the victim breathes.
Accordingly, we can state that the correct answer to your question is the letter c.
