1 Firmly tell the choking person to stand up and stay still.
2 Hug the person from behind.
3 Make a fist with one hand and place it in the choking person’s solar plexus. Place your other hand, palm open, over your fist.
The solar plexus is the first soft spot in the center of the body, between the navel and the ribs.
4 Tell the person to lean forward slightly.
5 Pull your fist in and up.
Use force and a quick motion. This will push out the residual lung gas under pressure, clearing any obstruction in the trachea. Repeat as needed.
