Trick to Save Yourself If You are Choking And Alone

Imagine the agonizing pain your body must feel when it’s being deprived of oxygen. It’s no joking matter. The obstruction of the airway passage, even partial, can result in asphyxia and death, which is why choking is the fourth most common cause of unintentional injury-related death.

Children and the elderly are often prone to choking. In 2015, a total of 5,051 people died from choking, of which 2,848 were people more than 74 years old.

So what should you do if you’re choking? If one is lucky, there is someone nearby who can perform the Heimlich maneuver. This first-aid procedure requires the rescuer to stand behind the patient and use their hands to thrust pressure on the diaphragm to dislodge the object and expel it.

What if you’re alone? Well, then you need to watch the video below to learn a life-saving technique to rescue yourself.

The first thing one needs to do is get down on the knees, then place your hands down as if you’re about to do a push-up.

Next, one needs to prepare to extend both arms forward at the same time. The point is to lift both arms upward, somewhat above the head, such that you’ll land on the chest and belly.

When the paramedic demonstrates it, one can hear him lose breath for a couple of seconds. The impact onto the floor acts similar to the thrust to diaphragm for the Heimlich maneuver.

This technique is for everyone—children, adults, and the elderly. So if you ever find yourself choking, don’t forget to do this life-saving move.
