 Ask "Are you choking"?
Choking maneuver for children.
Choking is the fourth leading cause of unintentional death in children under the age of 5.
What are the signs of choking?
- older child clutches his or her neck
- breathing is high pitched
- coughing has stopped and there is silence
- cannot talk or make sounds
- color turns from red to blue especially around the lips
- cannot breathe
What should you do? - ask "are you choking"?
- tell him you're going to help
- stand or kneel behind the child
- put your arms under his or her arms
- put the thumb side of your fist against the childs' belly, just above the belly button
- place your other hand over your fist
- press into the abdomen with quick inward and upward thrusts
- continue until the object comes out and the child is breathing normally or they stop responding, then start CPR
- If you are alone do 2 minutes of CPR and then call 911
- If someone else is around have them call 911
- Continue CPR until the child responds or trained help arrives and takes over
This is the procedure for children over a year old. The choking maneuver is different for infants newborn to 1 year.
