Choking first aid - adult or child over 1 year - series: Part 4
|
Performing first aid for a choking child is very similar to an adult. If the child does not clearly grab their throat other danger signs for a child and an adult include:
1. Stand behind the child and wrap your arms around the child’s waist.
2. Make a fist with one hand. Place the thumb side of your fist just above the child’s navel, well below the breastbone.
