Here what you should to do when the choking victim is having trouble coughing or breathing, however, ask if he is choking:
- If he can cough or speak, let him try to expel the blockage on his own.
- If he can't cough but is breathing, his airway is only partially obstructed. Arrange for immediate transport to an emergency medical facility to remove the blockage.
- If he cannot speak or cough, his airway is obstructed. Get someone to call for medical help while you perform the lifesaving Heimlich maneuver.
From the Guide to the Heimlich Maneuver, if the victim is conscious:
Ask him/her, "Are you choking?" If the victim can speak, cough, or breathe, do not interfere. So, how about if he/she can't. Here you must to do
