how do you perfom the heimlich?

Answer 1

very carefully!!!

Answer 2

The Heimlich Maneuver for CHOKING:
A choking victim can't speak or breathe and needs your help immediately. Follow these steps to help a choking victim:

From behind, wrap your arms around the victim's waist.
Make a fist and place the thumb side of your fist against the victim's upper abdomen, below the ribcage and above the navel.
Grasp your fist with your other hand and press into their upper abdomen with a quick upward thrust. Do not squeeze the ribcage; confine the force of the thrust to your hands.
Repeat until object is expelled.


UNCONSCIOUS VICTIM, OR WHEN RESCUER CAN'T REACH AROUND VICTIM:
Place the victim on back. Facing the victim, kneel astride the victim's hips. With one of your hands on top of the other, place the heel of your bottom hand on the upper abdomen below the rib cage and above the navel. Use your body weight to press into the victim's upper abdomen with a quick upward thrust. Repeat until object is expelled. If the Victim has not recovered, proceed with CPR.
The Victim should see a physician immediately after rescue.

Don't slap the victim's back. (This could make matters worse.)

Answer 3

Stand behind the victim and wrap your arms around them. Place your left hand in a fist like position and place it about 2 inches below the sternum (the breastbone), then place the right hand over the left. Make a quick inward and upward thrust until the person coughs up the piece that they are choking on.

Answer 4

it's different for the size of the person... adult v. child v. infant with and adult you place a fist in the abdomen just below the rib cage and with your other hand covering your fist you push with an up ward thrusting motion ... that's a general idea for you but if you want to do it right and get train in the proper way contact your local red cross center and ask about classes for first aid and CPR certification

Answer 5

You go to the Red Cross and take a First Aid course!

Answer 7

I agree. You need to call your local red cross or even your local fire department and get a professional to teach it to you. it can be a lifesaving procedure if done correctlly, but if you don't know how to perform it correctly it can cause more harm than good.
