First Aid for a Child Choking

Do you know what to do if a child is choking?
In this video by Linda Nylander-Housholder, APRN will demonstrate how to identify signs of choking and how to help a child who is choking (ages 1 year old to puberty).
Performing first aid for choking and CPR can keep them alive until Emergency Medical Services (911) arrives.

This Nicklaus Children’s Hospital video follows current CPR guidelines from the American Heart Association

THIS TECHNIQUE SAVED MY DAUGHTERS LIFE LAST NIGHT!!!

Im watching this to check the technique I used was correct. Learnt it years ago in children's first aid.. I used this technique without asking her because she's 2 and would t understand or be able to respond plus it was obvious she was choking. Anyways, using this technique allowed me to bring the object up her throat enough that I could pull it out and she could breath again.

Cruel, selfish people dislike this kind of useful videos. Don't they want other person to save them when they go through this same situation?

Today my almost 3 year old choked on a grape. Luckily after some bent over back patting I was able to physically pull it out, but I was reminded of how little I know how to handle this situation. I will be watching this and the infant choking video many times so that it comes naturally if needed again.

I took first aid courses and watched such videos in the past and was able to do it with ease. Years later I’ve been out of practice and decided to come on here to learn again, but this time I have nephews and nieces. I got very emotional watching this thinking about the worst, I hope I never have to do this!

Im not very emotional and maybe its cause i have 3 children myself but these videos always tear me up thinking about all the people this could potentionally save. Reading the comments and seeing all the people here to maybe help someone else wether its family or a stranger also is a good feeling. thanks for uploading!

Just in case my brother choke when I’m watching him

[joemarionnuez]

I’m nine years old. And when I grow up. I can learn how to save a child.

Thank you so much for this CPR demonstration. I took a CPR class so long ago and being a mother of 6 I need to always refresh this and know this life saving technique. I Pray I never have to use it but just in case will practice this often. Social media is so important and educational and a blessing to everyone when it’s used like this for emergency educational information. GOD bless.

Today at school i was at lunch just casually talking and all of a sudden I couldn't breathe or make any noise but luckily one of the nearby teachers was trained with the Heimlich maneuver and most likely save my life

My three year old choked on and then swallowed a quarter today. It was the scariest moment of my life, and all I could think was how I never learned to handle that situation.

One if my children choking is one of my biggest fears. Just watching this makes me emotional and have anxiety.

[drewzeegrows]

I had to do this yesterday for my 2 year old. He was choking on and then started to vomit and choking even more because it wouldn't come out and was turning blue. Scariest moment of my life. I'm glad I watched these videos all the time because they are a good reminder it can happen at any moment

As a babysitter, I feel the need to know this

[TheZero]

I just did this to my niece without the "ARE YOU CHOKING?" part

[IanRuns]

My 3 yr old daughter ate something yesterday and suddenly she paused and saw her teary eyes, I think she had a mild choke then after a few seconds she's fine. I was worried sick for that few seconds and realized that I don't know the first aid for choking. I recommend this to every parent, or actually to everyone to watch this. you'll never know when you will need it!

Thanks for the video btw!
