Choking relief refers to the techniques used to help someone who is unable to breathe due to an obstruction in their airway. This can occur when food, small objects, or other materials block the throat. The most common method for adults and children over one year old is the Heimlich maneuver, which involves abdominal thrusts to expel the object. For infants under one year, a different approach is recommended. Caregivers should use back blows and chest thrusts to dislodge the obstruction. It's essential to act quickly, as choking can lead to serious injury or death if not addressed promptly. Knowing these techniques can save lives.
