whta should i do if someone is chocking on an object in the air way? Type your answer here...
Look for the object; if there is no object in the mouth, attempt the 2 breaths. If breaths don't go in, repeat the sequence of compressions, look for object (sweep then if you see it), attempt the 2 breaths, etc until the breaths go in & you can check for a pulse.
Look in the mouth, sweep if you see the object; attempt to ventilate, 30 compressions if breaths don't go in; repeat sweep, breaths, compressions, until breaths go in.
If an adult becomes unresponsive while choking: # Unresponsive is assumed meaning unconscious # Call 911 or local emergency number (have someone else call if available) # Tip head & check for signs of life # If no signs of life, give 2 breaths # If breaths do not go in, reposition head further back # If breaths still do not go in give 30 compressions # Look for object in mouth; if object seen sweep out # Give 2 breaths # If breaths do not go in, give 30 compressions # Look for object in mouth; if object seen sweep out # Give 2 breaths # Repeat sequence compressions, look & sweep if object seen, breaths until breaths go in # When breaths go in check for signs of life for 10 seconds maximum # Give CPR if no signs of life (30 compressions, 2 breaths)
