[sibysworld]

i just did a hemlich's manoeur in a 3 year old kid who came to casualty in a gasping state with SpO2 of 60 ,after an accidental ingestion of a fruit's seed.After doing heimlich's manoeur, i was able to remove the airway obstruction in the right bronchus and the child was able to breathe freely and maintain spO2 saturation of 100percent..

This is the old method. According to AHA guideline, by delivering back blows one can actually force the object further down the windpipe. 's bWhat is being taught and has been for a very long time is abdominal thrusts. Also AHA is no longer calling it Heimlichs but Foreign Body Obstruction.

You wont see me next time, I'll see you next time

[O0oSorousho0O]

I don't know if this is a stupid question, but would there be a case where you have to hold the person upside down, so that gravity can assist in this manouver?

[titiliful1]

Very informative and easy to understand for my foreign students learning English in France. Thanks, Captain!

I know this is a serious issue and i don't take this as a joke! I do think it's good to be watching these videos even though they aren't like hands on experiance, but him straddling the child just made it really awkward. I'm just asking myself why could've he gone by the side of the child like he said before.

PLEASE NO HATEFULL RESPONSES!!

[pazzmatt]

@JuliaC96 I was thinking the same thing. Using a little boy would've been better as well. This looked very awkward.

[XXIstCenturyBoy]

@JuliaC96 I'm not hateful when I say that *you* are the one needing to address your issues, not him or anyone else. If the context of the video isn't enough for you to see this for what it is, then you might need to talk about this to someone.

[JuliaC96]

@XXIstCenturyBoy I specifically said at the beginning of my comment that I know this isn't a joking matter and it is good for them to put videos of this kind of stuff up.

If you took it in a way where I need to talk the issues to "someone else" well I'm sorry you took it that way. That wasn't my intention.

I'vealready taken a class in FirstAid/Heimlich/CPR in case any of this happened. And the teacher/instructor on the video explained it just fine.

Hope this cleared some things up for you.

My 3 and half year old daughter started choking on some Trix cereal last weekend, when I noticed she was choking the first thing I did was plop her down on my knee,

when I did that, I think that force alone knocked free the stuck food in her throat.

It scared the heck out of me, but this video tells me I did the right thing.

Had I not noticed she was ok, I was about to do the back slap next.

So glad I watched this video.

[djexclusivee]

You sick sick puppy! lol...

[miafilisou1]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[seahawksrocks]

I saw a Seattle police officer who was having dinner helped a chocking man who lost consciousness. The officer performed the Heimlich maneuver for nearly a minute until the airway opened and the man revived. 

[hyperbaricchicken101]

Is that your kid?

[calin719]

yeah yeah.. but what i want to know capt single??? *growl*

[Bloodz999]

i wonder why he had stayed in the same position at end of the video lmaooo

[Bloodz999]

for a men explaining! out of all people you had to get a little girl.

[japas]

HAHA PEDO BEAR ALERT!

[raluca152002]

Great job! Thanks a lot! So helpful to actually see how to do it.

[imistahbooi]

Very good video Sir!

Yesterday, my nephew choked on a grape and is now at the hospital in critical care. The grape was never removed until they got to the hospital sadly. I wish there were a lot of commercials about how to perform Heimlich Maneuvers so that a lot of people are educated and would know how to perform heimlich if it were to happen to one of their love ones or even strangers. Please play for my family and a recovery for my nephew...

[ibjamed]

i think that child is scarred for life...

[skypinkstar55]

Thank you! My 3 yr old nephew was chocking on candy yesterday and it scared me very very much. His father was able to hook it out with his finger. It be nice if I knew this... :(
