7 years ago my then 1 year old daughter choked and I used those very skills to save her life. Thank you for making this video hope that you keep making more of them.

I saved a 2 year old this way, when I was 22. She was on my lap (my friend's baby) and my friend noticed she was choking. I jumped up flipped her over, pounded on her back and the candy flew out. Jesus H. Christ. I wasn't taught. It was just my reaction. Thank GOD she was ok.

My one year old choked on a nickle today. I put him on my thighs and started hitting his shoulder blades the same way she just did. The nickle came out quickly with a couple strikes. Now I'm watching this video after to see if I made the correct decisions as I can't remember where I learned to do that. It seems like I did good. He was right next to me when he got nickle, going to be more attentive to small items accidentally not being secured very scary.

When I was younger, I saved my own life🤣🤣🤣 I was in home alone, my sister went to a quick walk and she said that I should eat something before she came to take me to my friend's house. I started to choke with a big piece of sandwich and threw myself in a chair until I got it out. I cried so hard out of the pain 🤣🤣🤣

I'm starting baby led weaning and made the mistake of not informing me before hand in case she choked... worst seconds of my life... so now I know what to do and chop her food way smaller... thank you!!

Two helpful comments on. a very helpful video: Indicate that for an infant receiving chest thrusts, we use two fingers, between the nipples. Also, I like the idea of forming a “C” with our hand, beneath the infant’s chin, and using a “pancake flip” maneuver when switching from the back to the front.😊

I'm glad there's an ad before this very important video.

[joshuareidsound]

Are there any videos that tell you how to help them in the first 5 seconds? Like someone is actually choking right now?

[watermelonroks]

Quick and straight to the point. Thank you

[farmlandusa]

I needed this for life guard training thank you

People who are coughing, crying, talking have still access to air. For example when getting a fishbone into their respiratory system. Just let them cough, because coughing is a good way to remove objects out of the respiratory system. 👍

Such a great life saving video. Thank you

[mohammadzbax]

Very good.but back blow five times and chest thrust is unlimited

[dougaldmactaggart]

Abdominal thrusts no longer recommended as they are associated with life threatening complications in some people. Go straight to back blows and chest thrusts

The instructor is very lovely. Very useful video. Thanks.

One day I choked on a big chicken bone..while being alone..I couldn't breathe or cough and I know only 1 technique which is swallow a handful of cooked rice ball..at a go..and I did that crying thinking this is it..the second big rice ball helped to push down the bone to stomach..I could feel the big bone finally moving through my food pipe

[Elmnopen]

Mothers and lay people should practice either in a class or with others doing chest thrusts on infants, fake ones, you don't want to have to figure out the right pressure in the most scary situation of your life

[lynroydurand]

That last one got stuck 😂😂😂 bro looking around to see if anyone knows the heimlich maneuver 😂
