The Heimlich maneuver, often known as abdominal thrusts, is the method. Abdominal thrusts raise your diaphragm and allow you to breathe out. The foreign object is ejected from your airway as a result of this. Five back blows are also advised by the Red Cross, despite the fact that certain organizations, including the American Heart Association, don't teach this method.

The Heimlich maneuver requires different steps depending on the person you are helping: another somebody who isn't a parent or a child (under a year old), a child or a pregnant woman, yourself.

Any person you do the move on should still need medical attention thereafter. This is to make sure their airways and throat have not sustained any physical harm.
