Choking isn’t a situation where you can wait.
If someone can’t cough, speak, or breathe:
✓ Ask: “Are you choking?”
✓ Give 5 back blows between the shoulder blades
✓ Give 5 chest thrusts just above the navel
✓ Repeat until the object dislodges or they become unresponsive
❗ Call 911 if they become unconscious — CPR may be needed
This is why CPR/first aid certification matters. Real skills. Real situations. Real lives saved.
