Warning! No action taken to delay seeking medical attention. In any case of an accident, always call the emergency service or find the nearest first aid station. The first aid for choking or suffocation should be taken until it is possible to specialized care.

If the object is stuck in nose

1. Ask the person to breathe through your mouth. And it can expel the air through the nose, forcing the output of the object.
2. If the object has not been introduced to the bottom on the nose, try pressing the base of the nose at the outside (on top, near the eyes) and push the object down.
3. If this fails or the object is lodged in the fund, seek medical help.
4. Do not try to force or introduce tweezers to remove: you can hurt the person or, worse, push the object further into.

If the person Choked and breathe smoothly

1. Hold the person coughing. The very air pressure can expel the food out.
2. You can help dislodge the object by slapping the back of the person: put it behind her and make the person to bend forward. Give the tapas at the top of the back. Beware of the applied force.
3. Do not try to turn the person upside down to force the removal of the object. This may worsen the choking, especially if vomiting occurs.

If the person can not breathe and Choked

1. Note that the victim begins to suffocate. She is desperate and start getting purple. If this happens, the case is serious, because the object is obstructing the passage of air.
2. The Heimlich maneuver is used to unblock the passage of air by airway: Link the victim with his arms around the abdomen. One hand remains locked in the “mouth of the stomach (epigastric region). The other, comprises the first, while they push the ‘mouth of the stomach “in and up, as if you wanted to raise the victim to the ground.

Baby Choking conscious

1. Place the baby face down on your arm and make 5 compressions between the scapulae.
2. Turn the baby back in his arm and make 5 compressions on the sternum (the breast bone that divides in half), when the nipples.
3. Try to visualize the foreign body and remove it gently.
4. If not, repeat the operation until the arrival in hospital.

Choking baby unconscious

1. If unconscious, throw the baby back in your arm and release the airways (mouth and nose).
2. Check if breathing.
3. If not breathing, perform mouth breaths 2-to-mouth.
4. Observe chest expansion, if you do not see movement, re-release of the airways and 2 breaths.
5. If not, repeat the operation until the arrival in hospital.
