To begin, listen to their breathing... Is it raspy? Wheezy? Laboured? Are they coughing or have they stopped breathing completely? Are they struggling to talk or cry? How do they look? Are they red in the face, have large watery eyes? Do they seem panicked? Are they pointing or grabbing at their throat? Is their skin looking blue or grey? If they're coughing effectively you don't need to step in just yet coughing should usually be enough to remove the blockage. However you should keep a close eye on them and if their coughing becomes ineffective or they start turning blue, you'll need to act. Remember never blindly reach into their mouth and try to remove the blockage. You're more likely to push it in further. Only use your fingers to remove the blockage if you can clearly see it and it's easy to reach. If the child is conscious but struggling to breathe or has stopped breathing altogether, begin giving them back blows. They're more effective if the child is positioned with their head down so that gravity can do most of the work. • Lie them across your lap if possible or if they're too big for that support them as they lean forward with their head down. • Use the heel of your hand to give five sharp blows between their shoulder blades, then move on to abdominal thrusts. • Stand or kneel behind the child. • Place your arms under their arms and around their body. • Make a fist with one hand and place it just below their rib cage above their belly button. • Grasp your fist with your other hand and pull sharply in and up. • Do this five times. If the blockage remains and there are other people nearby, get them to call an ambulance. Then repeat the five back blows followed by five abdominal thrusts until the blockage is cleared, the paramedics show up, or the child loses consciousness. Even if you're successful the child should still be checked out by paramedics to make sure that the blockage has completely gone and there are no injuries.
